About this home
Reimagined architectural residence in the coveted Little Tuscany neighborhood of Palm Springs, offering over 3,200 sq ft of refined desert living on nearly a half-acre. Thoughtfully redesigned to balance modern aesthetics with comfort and functionality, the property presents a rare combination of privacy, scale, and flexibility. A detached guest house with soaring ceilings, Fleetwood pocket doors, custom closets, and a private bath creates an ideal retreat for guests or extended stays. The main residence unfolds into an open-concept living space anchored by a fully updated kitchen with high-end appliances and a generous center island, seamlessly connecting to the dining and living areas with a gas fireplace and built-in wine bar. Polished concrete floors throughout enhance the home's clean architectural lines and desert-modern appeal. All bedrooms offer en-suite baths and custom closets, while the primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub, dual vanities, and elevated finishes. A separate structure on the west side of the property offers versatility as a home office, gym, or studio, complemented by a rooftop deck designed for stargazing and panoramic mountain views. Outdoor living is central to the experience, with an elevated pool and tanning shelf, updated decking, firepit, hot tub, and outdoor kitchen with BBQ. The grounds have been extensively redesigned by Desert Landscape Design with over $250,000 invested, creating a cohesive and elevated desert landscape. Significant system upgrades include replaced copper plumbing, re-foamed roof, reactivated solar system, newer pool equipment, EV charging station, new windows, motorized window treatments, updated lighting, and more. Previously owned by composer Ernst Krenek, adding a layer of cultural and architectural significance.

Incredible home in terrific, view-filled setting. Modern redesign. Art studio or work loft out back not in tax records. Tucked into the great community of Little Tuscany.
5 years ago• May not reflect the current state of the home
Little Tuscany, located between North Palm Canyon Drive and the San Jacinto Mountains, is a residential and hillside Palm Springs neighborhood with midcentury-modern estates and desert canyon views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the North Palm Canyon Drive corridor near the Palm Springs Visitor Center, where design-forward storefronts, coffee counters, and gallery-style showrooms set a polished, road-trip-meets-modernism tone. Architectural lines lean low and horizontal, with stone, glass, and breeze-block details that frame mountain backdrops. Winding streets climb toward canyons, shifting the feel from boulevard energy to quiet, view-oriented enclaves. The Palm Springs Art Museum anchors cultural gravity nearby, while the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway and Indian Canyons keep the landscape close at hand.

Originally built in 1958, this architectural home has been through a total transformation. With roughly 3239 square feet on almost a half acre lot, no stone has been left unturned in beautiful view driven Little Tuscany. The addition of a guest house with soaring ceilings has pocket Fleetwood doors, luxury bath and built out closets set the stage as you come to the steps approaching the house. Step inside the main house to open living with newer kitchen featuring top of the line appliances and generously sized center island that is open to the dining and living room areas with gas fireplace and wine bar with refrigeration. All bedrooms have their own private bath, built out closets and polished concrete flooring keeping it cool to the touch. The primary suite has a spa bath with large soaking tub and double vanities with top of the line fixtures. Just steps from the main house on the West side of the property is an ancillary building that could be used as an office, gym, art studio or any multitude of your desires and a roof top star gazing or sun soaking deck. The elevated pool area with tanning shelf features an outdoor firepit and separate outdoor kitchen/bbq area also with outside refrigeration and easy access into the main living area. In addition to the total systems update in this remodeled property is a 13kw leased solar system that currently covers the usage of the home and separate EV charging station in the carport. The late composer Ernst Krenek called this home adding a bit of historical provenance to this magical home in Little Tuscany.
