The home

Designed for slow mornings and longer evenings.

A newly renovated retro-chic escape in north Palm Springs, ten minutes from the Coachella Valley's best tables and a short drive to Indian Wells, Coachella, and Stagecoach. Four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, a chef's kitchen, and a resort-style backyard with pool, spa, fire pit, putting green, bocce court, and a beautifully lit pergola dining room. A game room with a pool table, karaoke, and a popcorn machine handles long evenings — built for slow mornings, late nights, and easy group reunions.

What sets it apart

Three reasons people stay longer than they planned.

Pool, spa, mountain backdrop

Market intel · Palm Springs

What’s about to change in this market.

Two material positives over the next 12 months: a new boutique hotel adds 84 keys to the downtown comp set (slight headwind), but the BNP Paribas expansion at Indian Wells Tennis Garden adds 18,000 seats and a March demand window — net ADR-positive for downtown villas.

Indian Wells Tennis Garden capacity expansion approved

$70M expansion adds 18,000 additional seats across Stadiums 2 and 4 plus new hospitality club, completing before the 2027 BNP Paribas Open.

Adds ~3 nights/day of incremental room demand across the 12-day tournament. Coachella Valley villas within 25 mi historically capture 30–40% ADR uplift for tennis week; expansion should compress further.

Desert Sun — Indian Wells expansion filing

Kimpton "Palm Mesa" 84-key boutique hotel — entitlement granted

Council approved entitlement for an 84-key Kimpton on N. Indian Canyon Dr; opening targeted Q3 2027. Adds compset supply but elevates downtown's hospitality brand.

+84 keys downtown is a ~2% supply increase. Likely 50–75 bps occupancy drag in non-peak months, offset by brand halo on the corridor.

Palm Springs Modernism Week — expanded 2027 dates

Festival board approved a 13-day program (vs. 11 in 2026) including a new "Mid-Century Architecture Tour Pass" expected to lift mid-week demand.

Adds two material demand nights mid-week. Properties with documented MCM architectural pedigree (The Sunbath House) should see strongest premium capture.

What past guests have said.

"The pool deck at golden hour is the entire reason you book a Palm Springs house. This one is perfect."

Maya R. · Coachella W2 · 2026

"Concierge had us on the architecture bus at 9 AM and at Workshop Kitchen by 7. Effortless from start to finish."

James + Olivia · Modernism Week · 2026

"Six of us, perfectly comfortable. The kitchen for late dinners, the spa for early mornings, and Tahquitz Canyon a five-minute drive. We rebooked before we left."
