Experience this architecturally significant mid-century modern house designed by renowned California architects Palmer & Krisel and developer Robert Alexander.   This fully renovated vacation house is located in Palm Springs' Racquet Club Estates neighborhood, home to the legendary Racquet Club Resort.  
 
The home features highly sought-after desert mid-century modern architecture, including a spacious open floor plan, dramatic vaulted high ceilings unique to the iconic “butterfly” roof-line design, exposed tongue-and-groove ceiling beams, and floor-to-ceiling “walls of glass” that stream an abundance of sunlight throughout the indoor living areas.  Each room throughout the house has been renovated to showcase the home’s stunning features.  Highlights include a fully renovated open concept kitchen, that features stainless steel appliances, pro-grade gas cooktop, Keurig coffee brewer, and auto-closing drawers well-stocked with all the essential cooking gadgets.  
 
The main living, dining and kitchen areas provide unobstructed views of the mountains and expansive private garden and pool through the “zero-clearance” floor-to-ceiling windows, which blur the distinction between the indoors and outdoors. 
 
The expanded master bedroom features a gas fireplace, flat panel wall-mounted HDTV and private patio.  The en suite master bath that features dual vanity sinks and a luxury step-down oversized shower with glass tiles.  Longer-term guests will appreciate the abundant custom storage features available in the walk-in closet.  
 
Throughout the house, guests will appreciate the modernist furnishings inspired by famous mid-century modern designer icons. Highlights include a curved low-back sofa, Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair, and raised modern beds with luxury mattresses and hotel quality linens in each bedroom. 
 
Outside, sun lovers can soak up the desert sun in the desirable western-facing private back yard.  Indulge in the Pebble-Tec® swimming pool with 'legacy size' dimensions, which features walk-in stair-step access and variable depths.  After a refreshing swim, relax in the adjustable chaise loungers underneath an oasis of palm trees, surrounded by resort-style landscaping. 
 
The private back yard features an expansive detached outdoor cabana with kitchenette for enjoying the Palm Springs indoor-outdoor lifestyle.  The kitchen/bar area features includes a Jenn-Air chef’s gas grill, true-gas cooktop burner, and bar/prep sink.  You and your family and guests can dine al-fresco style in the lighted cabana at the outdoor dining table, and afterwards retreat to the outdoor resort style lounge sofa. 
 
After sunset, the entire private back yard and palm trees are dramatically illuminated with professional resort-designed ground lighting. Mix up a cool retro cocktail in the blender in the outdoor cabana, and then gaze at the evening stars while relaxing around the custom built-in gas fire pit or in the resort style spa with therapeutic water jets.

In 2008 a group of close friends from Seattle rented this delightful mid-century modern home for a winter escape from the rain and cold. We all fell instantly in love with the magical desert 'zen' that this home provided. Despite all the nearby attractions and activities, we found ourselves spending the majority of our four lazy days lounging by (and in!) the private pool, soaking up the sun, and grilling lunch and dinner poolside. At night we all enjoyed the wonderful sensation of slowly immersing ourselves into the jetted hot tub and gazing upwards at the stars. Three years later we discovered that this home was for sale. We didn't hesitate a second to purchase this vacation home for ourselves, families, and friends. As our guests, we trust you will have an equally memorable stay at our 'home away from home!'
