Lapping up 80-degree views of the San Jacinto mountains and the Dry Falls, this Palms Springs home resides in the luxurious Vista Las Palmas neighbourhood – renowned for its rich architecture and Hollywood history. It provides a peaceful desert getaway, positioned less than one mile away from Palm Canyon Drive, which paves the way through the Uptown Design District to an array of incredible restaurants, shopping boutiques and a lively nightlife scene too. The home itself is a mid-century architectural jewel by Charles Du Bois, and features a melange of period details in contrast with modern comforts. Preserving its original classic character throughout, we particularly love design details such as the open stone fireplace and quirky blush pink tiling of the kitchen – it's accents like these that set this home apart from the rest. Enjoy soothing afternoons in the garden, lounging by the pool or playing garden games, before serving up an alfresco meal at the outdoor dining area. With towering Palm trees providing some much-needed shade and seclusion – you'll have your very own slice of desert peace and privacy when staying here.
