About this property
Stunning mid century pool home with awesome golf course and mountain views!
We are only 2 miles from the Indian Wells Tennis Gardens - an easy 5 minute drive without the traffic of main roads or a 30 minute walk if you prefer. And 5 miles or 11 minutes drive from the Firebirds Ice Hockey Stadium!
This is a fabulous house! It is featured on HGTV's House Hunters in an episode called Picky in Palm Springs! The house looks so different now that it has been fully renovated! A new 14’ x22' pool with a tanning shelf and great private yard! Think Mid-century meets The Brady Bunch! Built in 1972 this fabulous house features walls of glass that flood the house with light and warmth during winter. In summer the 12’ wide overhang gives shade and protection to the house and is a great place to watch the sunset. Stunning views of the golf course the house is on and the mountains that surround the area. 14' soaring ceilings and the floor to ceiling stone fireplace adds both character, sense of space and warmth. It has recently undergone an amazing total renovation and looks amazing!
The spacious kitchen is an ideal place to cook up a storm! This is Indoor / outdoor living at its finest with a 12’ wide deck that runs the length of the house for seamless transitions to the outdoor living space and garden. Outside the Primary Suite is a huge sunken jacuzzi / plunge pool with waterfall feature. The living space is classic late 60’s and early 70’s.
The house has been fully renovated and designed specifically for guests. Everything from roof to floor including new paint, furniture and flooring throughout. It’s relaxing homey feel reflects the era with modern conveniences. Come and enjoy this unique and special home.
There is no noise from traffic and there are stunning views of the local mountains and golf course. It is a very quiet and peaceful neighborhood and we have wonderful neighbors who we are close friends with.
The City is very strict about enforcing their ordinances and will give heavy fines and evict guests that do not follow them. No Parties or loud noise, music etc both inside and outside. We have NoiseAware software installed that will advise you if sound levels are too high and protect you and us from false complaints. There are also security cameras on all property entrances to monitor people coming and going so we knwo when contactors are there. These do not invade your privacy.
- Only 3 cars are allowed and these must be parked at all times in the garage or on the driveway.
- No street parking.
- No trash and mess outside of the home. Trash collection happens on Fridays very early.
If you wish to heat the pool to a warmer temperature then you can choose to put on the gas heater. It will take the gas heater about 12 hours to heat the pool and 2 hours to heat the hot tub depending in the start temperature and how warm you want it. The cost is about $75-100 a day to heat the pool (+ a $25 surcharge for the initial heat on the first day) If you just want to heat the spa which seats up to 6 people and is what most people do in winter, so a 3 hour soak costs around $10 - 35 per session. Pool must be heated for the entire stay but the spa can be used a few hours at a time on demand.

Our pool guy comes twice a week. He will let himself in and out of the back yard. He cleans the pool and hot tub and checks the equipment. If you have any questions, ask him.
The house is on the Palm Desert Country Club Golf Course. Golf is literally at your doorstep. Green fees range from $49-$99 to play this iconic golf course. The clubhouse features The Cactus Club Restaurant which offers breakfast lunch and dinner as well as music and entertainment. This a beautiful place to relax. Located close to the Tennis Center, great shopping and great restaurants.

About the host
Hosted by Ruth Grau
I was born and raised in the outback of South Australia and moved to the USA in 1994. My husband and I own a luxury Travel Company, Springboard Vacations that specializes in designing unique vacations for Americans to Australia, New Zealand, Islands of the South Pacific and Africa. In 2018 we purchased this home in Palm Desert because we love it there so much. We had previously purchased a home in Cathedral City in 2011 that inspired me to go back to college to get my degree in Interior Architecture from UCLA. I am passionate about Mid Century Architecture, Architects and Design. I have attended all Modernism Weeks since 2011 and have been fortunate to meet the late Donald Wexler and Hugh Kaptur. We love the way our home reflects Palm Desert way of life.
Why they chose this property
We bought this home because it had been a much loved one owner property that had been well cared for. It had all its original features and lots of great charm and character.
What makes this property unique
We love the late mid century styling with the start of the 1970's open plan living. The house has walls of glass that look out over the golf course and mountains. It has high 14' tongue and groove wood ceilings and a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. There is seamless indoor outdoor living that makes the home feel even larger than its 1600 sqft. In winter time when the sun is low in the sky, the house is streaming with sunlight and in the summer when the sun is higher the 12' wide deck overhangs keep the house cool. The sunken shower in the master bath is a fun feature.
