- Pool
Located in the Historic Tennis Club, this three-bedroom/ three bath 2283 square foot condo exudes the Palm Springs lifestyle with Location, Architecture and Amenities. Step into a rare architectural gem by Chris Able, where mid-century design is preserved and elevated for today's living. Tucked beneath the dramatic mountain backdrop, this light-filled residence blends warm natural materials, artisan craftsmanship, and indoor-outdoor ease. Soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and clerestory windows fill the great room with natural light. Sculptural stained glass panels cast amber and teal tones across crisp white slump stone walls, an unmistakable mid-century signature. A wood-paneled fireplace wall with a built-in media niche anchors the main living area, ideal for cozy desert evenings. Modern porcelain tile floors underscore the bright space and flow seamlessly in the main living areas. The kitchen pairs rich warm-wood cabinetry with sleek white quartz counters, a vivid aqua glass tile backsplash, stainless appliances, and a breakfast bar with seating for three. Skylights and a glass sliding door open onto a private patio, making entertaining effortless. A floating walnut bar with a lighted glass display separates the entry from the living area and doubles as a stylish serving station. The primary suite features a dramatic vaulted wood-plank ceiling, a wall of shuttered French doors, and abundant natural light. The spa-inspired bath offers a floating wood vanity, a deep soaking tub, skylight, terrazzo tile floors and a shimmering mosaic tile wall. A flexible second living area or den with a warm cedar ceiling and floor-to-ceiling glass opens directly to the private spa and garden, making it ideal as a guest room, office, or media lounge. A playful powder room with a bold lime accent wall and a convenient laundry room with side entry complete the interior. The expansive front balcony provides a magical center stage view of the majestic mountains and a bonus view to the right of the iconic Frey House II perched above. The intimate back balcony offers private moments perfect for morning coffee, mediation or reading. At ground level, a secluded courtyard garden with low-maintenance turf and mature greenery surrounds your private spa, a true desert oasis for year-round relaxation. Owned solar (20 panels) helps keep energy costs low while you enjoy the sunshine lifestyle with 8.0kW across 20 panels. The largest unit also includes the only private carport within the community. Full-size laundry room with sink and extra refrigerator. The neighborly home owners of 555 W Arenas lovingly refer to the community as "the Compound".
