PS CITY ID #064114 Designed by Hugh Kaptur, a pioneer of Palm Springs desert modernism, this mid-century showpiece channels the romance of a Greek island escape. Whitewashed stucco and sharp modern lines glow under the desert sun, palms frame a shimmering pool, and mountains rise like distant Aegean calderas. Spend your days lingering over taverna-style brunches, drifting in the water, and sipping starlit cocktails beside bougainvillea—your own private island, reimagined in the desert. Highlights • Dog-Friendly, Fully Fenced Yard – Let your pup roam while you sip a cocktail in the shade. • Heated Private Pool – Perfect for sunrise swims or evening dips under desert stars. • Remodeled Kitchen & Baths – Cook in style and unwind in spa-like comfort. • 2-Car Garage + Laundry – Park with ease, pack light, and stay fresh all trip long. • Multiple Outdoor Lounges – Sunbathe, dine al fresco, or toast the mountains at sunset. The Space This single-level retreat blends Hugh Kaptur's desert modernism with breezy Greek island charm. Sunlight fills the open layout, connecting the bright living room, dining area, and a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, sleek cabinetry, and modern finishes. A full wall of retractable sliding glass doors erases the line between indoors and out, bringing citrus blossoms, pool shimmer, and mountain views right into the heart of the home. Sleeping Arrangements • Primary Bedroom: King bed, updated en-suite bathroom with dual sinks and walk-in shower, with extra large sliding glass doors to a flagstone patio and mountain views • Bedroom 2: King bed with its own private patio • Bedroom 3: Two Twin beds • Hallway Bathroom: Updated tile throughout with full-size bathtub Outdoor Living Step outside and sink into your own private desert sanctuary. The sparkling pool catches the sunlight by day (and can optionally be heated for year-round swims), framed by Mediterranean landscaping and a pet-friendly turf lawn. Curl up on the full-size outdoor daybed for an afternoon nap, or claim a shady seat under the covered patio for cocktails and conversation. As the sun sets, gather around the built-in fire pit and watch the desert sky spill over with stars.
