About this property
Mid-Century Modern Soul, Lux Euro Sleek Style. El Paseo - South Palm Desert
The soul and charm of a mid century modern with euro sleek style relaxes privately and confidently on Shadow Lake Drive in the sought after South Palm Desert and El Paseo District.
Unassuming from the curb, you are welcomed into a space where the lines between outdoor and indoor living seamlessly disappear. Where light dances off of sleek surfaces and every changing hour brings new meaning to ambiance, inside and out.
A gourmet kitchen looks onto an ample and lovely ‘great room’ with gorgeous views provided by the walls of glass that separate the interior and completely private front and rear courtyards. Redefining inside-out living.
Not to be outdone, a well equipped outdoor kitchen over looks the impressive, completely private rear courtyard. Outdoor dining, a glass fire feature, salt water pool & spa. Seated in foothills of the San Jacinto Mountains, peek-a-boo views of the mountains throughout the property framed by palm & olive trees, please the eye.
Automatic shades on glass walls give the option of creating privacy between living spaces, giving an expansive feel. Impressive lighting, day and night, inside and out, dazzles.
Back inside, sleeping arrangements. A large master en suite with a master bath that will make you never want to leave, does not disappoint. Two charming guest rooms on the opposite end of the home with a shared bath make for an overall, ideal space to share with friends and family. This space loves to entertain large just as much as it does a party of one or two.
A beautiful space for you to come, breath in the warm desert air, exhale your stress and thoroughly enjoy yourself. Why? Because every time you're on a getaway...you should feel as if you have arrived and leave a little bit more like yourself.
We absolutely love this space and feel so lucky to have and share it. Please let us know if you have any questions, curiosities or if there is anything we can do to make your stay extra special! We are happy to help!

About the host
Hosted by Catherine Francois
About the owner: A couple who loves to escape to the desert from their primary residence in Seattle, WA. After work opportunities brought them to the desert, they found this home in 2012 and did a massive 6-month remodel to restore the mid-century modern house (built in 1958) to its glory with modern, high quality, euro sleek touches.
Why they chose this property
Palm Desert has great weather, sunshine, warmth and easy proximity to the coast. And the fact that the weather is the opposite of Seattle! PD is just a short plane ride away and always great weather and relaxing. Location was a big part of it- and it is hard to find a more convenient and fun location than this. The layout of the home was perfect with great open spaces for entertaining; the master bedroom was large and separated from the other two bedrooms - great for everyone's privacy! The outdoor spaces are just as enjoyable as the interiors! We often have trouble deciding where to start. Drink coffee in the front courtyard or in the back at the outdoor kitchen bar. Hang out by the fire or by the pool. Since we can see it all from the inside/out style living space and glass walls, choosing becomes less of a chore.
What makes this property unique
Getting up with the sun in the morning and going for a run is one of the best things- run through the neighborhood, or going to the trails a couple miles away to do the “bump and grind” run/hike with other fitness enthusiasts. Then, winding up with a cool-down walk on El Paseo and stopping at Starbucks for your morning coffee. Enjoy your day relaxing by the pool, using the BBQ at night, the outdoor fire pit, walking to what will be one of your new favorite restaurants for dinner, etc. A round of golf whenever you feel like it. Amazing evenings. You could have dinner every night for a year and not repeat a restaurant- however I do have some of favorites, just ask. Armando’s (by far) is the favorite, then Sullivan’s, Tommy Bahamas, many more. Or Happy Hour just about anywhere. Mamma Gina's, Firecliff, Daily Grill, Mastro’s, or if you need to find football- try Buffalo Wild Wings, Cactus Jacks - lots of options!! Incredible opportunities to enjoy local attractions. The local zoo, Joshua Tree (which will make you feel like you've never seen the night sky before), the Palm Springs Tramway (a must see and opportunity to take a relaxed stroll around Mount San Jacinto with breathtaking views of the Coachella Valley), just to name a few and not to mention the world renowned events, concerts and sporting events this area attracts!
