This magnificent mid-century modern home is pure Palm Springs perfection. Located in the historic Racquet Club Estates neighbourhood, this awesome Alexander Butterfly home – so called because it was built by the iconic Alexander Construction Company is both stylish and sophisticated, evoking the Palm Springs of yesteryear. Featuring a light-filled open plan kitchen, dining and living room – think clean lines, clerestory windows and an arty mid-century modern inspired aesthetic – courtesy of floor to ceiling sliding glass doors, this heritage home really does have it all. What’s more, the best is yet to come – you’ll also be treated to mesmerising mountain views from your sun-drenched garden complete with a private, heated, outdoor pool, hot tub, fire pit and an alfresco barbecue, lounging and dining terrace. We don’t know about you, but that sounds like heaven to us. Suited to socialising as well as seclusion, this captivating Californian home will have you feeling rested and relaxed in no time. You’ll love taking your morning coffee out onto the terrace and admiring magnificent mountain views, lazing on loungers in the sun or seeking shade beneath terrific turquoise parasols. Cool off with a refreshing dip in the pool or luxuriate in the hot tub, cold drink in hand before preparing firm family favourites in the well-equipped kitchen or barbecuing to your heart’s content in the outdoor kitchen. Dine alfresco altogether while enjoying absolute privacy. Treat yourself to an afternoon spent hanging out in the hammock, reading, reclining or simply gazing up at the swaying palms above you, and, as the light fades gather around the fire pit for deep and meaningful chats and digestifs. If you fancy getting out and about, you’ll find your home’s location within walking distance of the world-famous Palm Canyon Drive with its art galleries, boutiques, restaurants, cabarets and clubs, what could be better?
