690 West Stevens Road

This is not just a residence, it's one of Palm Springs' rare original architectural treasures by acclaimed mid-century designer James H. McNaughton, whose body of built work in the desert is exceptionally limited (less than two dozen commissioned homes ever realized). McNaughton's architectural voice was unlike his contemporaries: he infused classical drama, Hollywood Regency flair, and theatrical composition into desert modernism; a style he often called "desert classic." His designs are known for monumental spaces, generous use of glass walls, clerestory windows, soaring ceilings, and the seamless blend of indoor/outdoor living that defines Palm Springs' architectural essence. The property is situated on a private, oversized site with dramatic views and expansive outdoor living. For the buyer who views authenticity as a virtue and architectural history as an asset, this is a truly singular opportunity in Palm Springs.
