Five Of The Coachella Valley’s Most Noteworthy Current Listings

This one-bedroom, one-bath Racquet Club Cottages West gem, designed by William Cody in 1964, is the ideal Palm Springs pied-à-terre! Initially built as an overflow hotel room for the historic Palm Springs Racquet Club, the swank freestanding unit (offered turnkey) has been completely overhauled with quartz counters, cement flooring, a walk-in shower, polished cabinetry, and stylish mod furnishings. Surrounded by gorgeous landscaping and lush pathways, the ultra-private setting makes it a genuine retreat.

This is your chance to own an architectural icon, as Steel House No. 1 is up for grabs! The folded-plate-roofed masterpiece, crafted in 1962 by Donald Wexler and Richard Harrison for the Alexander Construction Co. as part of an inspired (but ultimately failed) all-steel subdivision, the home is one of only seven completed, all of which are “internationally acclaimed” today. Restored in 2014, with Wexler himself serving as a consultant, the dwelling’s sleek original detailing is beautifully and artfully preserved.

Another Wexler-designed gem, this property, known as the “Royal Singapore,” served as a model home for the Alexander Company’s Green Fairway Estates community upon its completion in 1965 and is considered the acclaimed architect’s most singular creation today. Meticulously updated by its current owner, who uncovered the signature Alexander Cone fireplace still intact, the residence is classic, unique, and timeless. Bonus – the home also boasts its original outrigger-adorned roof as well as sublime views of the Tahquitz Creek golf course.

Exquisitely restored by its present owners, this 1958 William Krisel-designed pad looks straight out of a magazine! Tucked away in the historic Tamarisk Ranchos community, an idyllic resort-style enclave of 16 midcentury homes surrounding a pool, pathways, and grassy expanses, the residence is a stunning blend of original and modern, with beamed ceilings, travertine flooring, and rock walls flawlessly complementing such updated creature comforts as frameless glass showers, high-end appliances, and floating cabinetry.

A marvel of elegance, this property is, simply put, a dream! Thoroughly and expertly reimagined by Andelin Design House, the Lakes Country Club dwelling is offered turnkey furnished, complete with sophisticated appointments, décor, linens, and cookware included in the sale. Featuring plush amenities at every turn, including a floating bar, a floor-to-ceiling wine tower, and a futuristically bespoke laundry room, you will not find anything remotely similar in the desert. Photos do not do this beauty justice!
