Location: Private Homes, Palm Springs, North, Palm Springs, Deserts, California, USA
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
A 20th century home, full of an eclectic mix of mid to late century design.
Built in the 1970s, this has all the modernity of a more recent home with all the design and charm of an older home.
The double height ceiling and atrium qualities of the main living area give it an great spaciousness.
Off this space is a more enclosed den area for TV and DVD viewing.
It has been furnished in a style that includes different periods of design in a personal mix where there will be favorite things for all. The interior includes design by Eames and Nelson, from Robsjohn Gibbings to Paul Mc Cobb mixed with Thrift shop finds and family heirlooms.
This house is not precious, it has been put together to make you feel comfortable and at ease as soon as you arrive.
There are 3 double bedrooms, 2 face the front of the house, while the master bedroom with its ensuite bathroom opens onto its own deck.
Out side the back garden includes several mature palms that rustle in the breezes. The pool features a full length submerged bench that has sprinkling jets and places for umbrellas to be installed.
The lot is very wide so this gives privacy to all that stay in the house.

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
I am the author of many books on mid century design and architecture, titles including modern retro, Sarasota modern, living modern and living retro. I also own and run design store/gallery in London that specializes in Mid century Modern furniture and design. I own homes in Florida, Palm Springs , London and Essex
Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
While researching for my last book 'living retro' I spent a lot time in Palm Springs and really liked it. Son as soon as I could I tried to find a house to buy. Owning 1950s homes in Florida I didn't really want an Alexander, so was lucky to find this house built in the 70s, but still with great architectural features and bones.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The house has a great spatial feel about it. It has a great landscape around it and if you like the desert there is nothing better.
