In one of Palm Springs' most distinctive neighbourhoods, where Elvis and Priscilla honeymooned in 1967, this slice of mid-century architecture has all the hallmarks of the area's defining style. From its stone-clad exterior and atrium entrance to its vaulted ceilings and walls of windows, it's just as cool as it was back in the day. And with a list of former owners that includes Chicago department store tycoons the Marshall Field family, it's little wonder there's a certain sophisticated atmosphere to the place. It's old-school Palm Springs at its very best. Set on a corner plot, the home's outside space is idyllic, surrounded by a privacy wall and dotted with tall palms and desert planting – with the ever-present mountains acting as a backdrop. The pool is a perfect size, with an above-ground spa and plenty of sun loungers, and there's a propane barbecue so you can eat alfresco in the evenings. At night it's beautifully lit with uplighters beneath the trees. But if you're attracted to this place for its design credentials, you'll no doubt be interested in the interiors. Maintained in almost original condition, there's a comfy lounge area with a fireplace, a large bar and dining table, with a... kitchen tucked around the corner. Big bedrooms mostly open directly to the outside space and the bathrooms have a nostalgic feel too. Just a seven-minute drive from downtown and a four-minute stroll from the home now known as the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway (with daily tours),it's also close to hiking trails and convenient for the airport.
