Architectural pedigree and classic mid-century modern splendor. Built in 1959 and designed by Larry Lapham, son of Howard Lapham and future partner of Hugh Kaptur. The home is a popular stop during Modernism Week tours as it architecturally embodies what makes Palm Springs the modernism capital of the world. Located in the highly desirable Movie Colony area, Ruth Hardy Park and downtown Palm Springs are a short distance away. The large corner lot creates a private enclave, with access to a large motor court secured by a motorized gate. A large deep pool, expansive pool deck, lush landscaping, and shaded seating areas create an exceptional resort-like setting with striking mountain vistas. Thoroughly upgraded inside and outside, the home has a well-appointed kitchen with ample counter area, stone waterfall countertops, cook island + breakfast island, and butler's pantry. Other features include great separation from the master suite to the guest suites, iconic clerestory windows allowing views and natural light to fill the interior; newer double-paned sliders and windows, remodeled bathrooms, newer HVAC system, additional exterior storage area, 32 owned solar panels, and low-water landscaping. Furnishings per Seller's Inventory are negotiable outside escrow.
