The detail

A beautifully updated 1958 mid-century home in the heart of Little Beverly Hills, Palm Springs – this modern meets classic masterpiece was notably designed by famous architects Palmer and Krisel.

With a backdrop of breathtaking mountain views, the stylish interiors of the home ooze glamour yet retain a relaxed and laid-back ambience throughout. With pops of hot pink injected into this design jewel's aesthetic, we can see barbie and her pals lapping this place up for a summer vacation, just minutes driving distance from all the fun of Palm Canyon Drive.

Outside in the completely private garden, you'll discover the true cherry on the cake as a resort-like setting awaits your enjoyment. From the sparkling swimming pool and spa to the fire pit, shaded hammocks, outdoor lounge, giant chess set and a ping pong table, you're guaranteed a good time when hanging out here.

Beyond your haven of pink, lavishing in the Palm Springs lifestyle couldn't be easier, as its centrally located address puts you within easy reach of many world-class bars, restaurants, clubs, art galleries and fabulous shopping just a few blocks away.

If you’ve ever seen any of Slim Aarons’ photographs, you know what Palm Springs is about. It’s sparkling, turquoise pool waters, and a laid-back yet glamorous lifestyle, mixed with the most elegant floor-to-ceiling, glass-windowed spectacles of homes (Palm Springs has the highest concentration of mid-century modern architecture in the entire world).

Also known for its love affair with Hollywood, it gained popularity during Hollywood’s Golden Age when movie studios imposed the two-hour rule, essentially banning talent from being more than two hours away from LA in case of last-minute jobs. Today, it’s a mix of all that, and more. With a rich cultural heritage that involves lots of festivals, architecture tours dedicated to visionary designs, and over a hundred golf courses surrounded by the most beautiful desert landscapes, it’s an oasis waiting to be explored.
