The story
- Pool
Charles Du Bois architecture. A celebration of California modernism. Motor up the circular drive and discover a reimagined home in South Palm Desert where the original architecture takes center stage. Breeze block detailing, vaulted beamed ceilings, and clerestory windows set the tone. The south-facing backyard is a standout, with mountain views to the west, towering palms, and an entirely rebuilt saltwater pool and spa featuring deck jets. A series of sliding doors opens the living and dining areas to a covered patio running the length of the home. Multiple conversation areas, a gorgeous outdoor fireplace, and a separate covered barbecue area make entertaining a pleasure. Privacy is exceptional, with low-maintenance landscaping and thoughtfully placed landscape lighting that brings the setting to life after dark. Inside, the living room's floating fireplace hearth, tile finishes, and architectural detailing celebrate the home's pedigree. The spacious kitchen features a large island, stylish finishes, and a convenient pass-through to the outdoor barbecue area. Just beyond a swinging door, an oversized utility room doubles as a butler's pantry, complete with a large sink, prep space, and separate service entrance. The ensuite primary bedroom opens directly to the pool and patio, while its beautifully finished bath features a separate tub and shower. Guest bedrooms two and three enjoy clerestory windows, a shared bath, and excellent separation from the primary suite, with the other guest room opening to a private north-facing patio. The casita is a destination of its own, positioned alongside the pool and offering a kitchen, built-in Murphy bed, walk-in closet, beautifully finished bath, and an additional room currently used as an office with a second walk-in closet. Ideal for guests, extended stays, or flexible living arrangements. The extensive permitted renovation of the main residence was designed by Sean Lockyer of Studio AR&D Architects in Palm Springs, with major improvements to electrical, plumbing, dual-zone HVAC, windows, doors, insulation, and interior finishes. More recent investments include the 2024 pool and spa reconstruction, updated landscaping and irrigation, new kitchen appliances, and additional plumbing upgrades. Other highlights include a newer roof, 10kW rooftop solar system, EV charging, and gated RV parking with water, power, and sewer hookups. A two-car garage with adjacent storage, raised planting beds, an herb garden, and Fee Land (you own it) complete the picture! All of this on a sought-after South Palm Desert street, just a short golf cart ride from El Paseo's celebrated shopping and dining and some of the desert's finest country clubs.
