About this home
Located in the Tahquitz River Estates area of Palm Springs, this home combines the architectural character of mid-century-modern open-floorplan design with a dramatic modern feel, all on fee land - you own it! Twenty-five owned solar panels provide an energy-efficient advantage, complemented by an EV charger in the garage. Enter through the front gate into a beautifully landscaped desert garden that continues around the home to the pool and jacuzzi area. Fully enclosed by block walls and hedges, the property offers exceptional privacy. The front door opens into a sunlit entry hall and beyond to a dramatic great room with soaring ceilings. Walls of glass, with inset solar shades, frame views of the mature gardens and San Jacinto Mountain. Clerestory windows on all four sides bring in expansive views of treetops and sky, while four large sliding glass doors provide access to the pool and outdoor living areas. The kitchen features a large island that separates it from the great room while maintaining the open feel of the space. The large primary bedroom has beautiful views of the pool and the mountains. The primary bathroom features a double vanity and underfloor radiant heating. A second, more intimate living area features a classic mid-century beamed ceiling, gas fireplace, entertaining bar and library. This part of the home opens directly to an adjacent outdoor entertaining area. The second bedroom enjoys excellent separation from the primary suite and features its own bathroom, private outdoor area and outdoor shower. The two-car garage opens directly to the kitchen for added convenience. A powder room and laundry facilities are located adjacent to the kitchen. Numerous major systems and amenities were installed or replaced in 2025, including a tankless water heater with recirculating pump, washer and dryer, rooftop energy-efficient heat-pump HVAC system, pool heater, pool filter, valves and saltwater system. City records identify the property as a duplex with two legal units. The property has been thoughtfully designed and finished to function and feel like a single-family home.

Taquitz Canyon River Estates, located between South Palm Canyon Drive and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, is a residential and resort-adjacent Palm Springs neighborhood with mountain views and a wash-side landscape. The neighborhood reads as midcentury-modern streetscapes mixed with Spanish Revival touches, set against the San Jacinto foothills. The character concentrates around the South Palm Canyon Drive corridor near the entrance to Taquitz Canyon, where patios, galleries, and design-forward dining set a polished, walkable rhythm. Community pillars include Moorten Botanical Garden, the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, and the Plaza Theatre. Hiking energy builds at nearby trailheads, while evenings tilt toward low-lit lounges and courtyard restaurants. The setting feels tucked against the canyon mouth, with palms, rock faces, and desert light shaping daily routines.

What started as a mid-century modern 800 sq. ft. post and beam bungalow is now a new century modern home with two bedrooms and 2 and 1/2 baths with outdoor shower. This property can be used as a single family home with attached casita or as two separate units. The city records indicate the property is a duplex with two legal units. The 10,000 sq. ft. lot is desert landscaped with an oasis feel. The property is surrounded by block walls and hedges that create your own private resort. The pool/spa has been recently re-plastered with new glass tile trim. The main entrance is through a sky lit vestibule. The great room has twelve foot ceilings and windows to capture the panoramic mountain views. These windows are covered with electric solar shades that retract into the ceiling. There is also a retractable awning covering the patio. The primary bedroom has a spectacular view of the pool and mountains. The primary bathroom has double vanities and underfloor radiant heating. The casita has its own separate original entrance and is connected to the main house through the vestibule. This original home has 1 bedroom, 1 bath and a full kitchen. There is a dramatic mid century modern floating fireplace in the casita. The bath is fully remodeled with a glass tiled shower. The casita kitchen has plumbing roughed in to make for an easy conversion to a third bath. The home has 27 fully owned solar panels. This beautiful and unique home is a must see.
