An Architect's Dream

This mid-century gem was built by the renowned architect Fredrick Monhoff, designer of the historic Biltmore Hotel. We love this exceptional home – it seamlessly blends the indoors and outdoors. It's the perfect place to gather with your family and friends to enjoy Palm Springs living at its best. Lounge by the inviting pool, or spend evenings star gazing next to the fire pit (there are two to choose from). Multiple water features provide soothing sounds, while the views of the mountains are fabulous, especially as the sun begins to set. Inside is no less impressive with walls of glass, chic concrete flooring and a cool bar lounge area – this home was designed for entertaining, so mix up a whiskey sour or another drink of your choice and relax. As you'd expect with a luxurious home, all the bedrooms are en-suite – the huge second-story master suite, accessed by a custom-made steel staircase, has its own dedicated sitting area overlooking the lush gardens and sparkling swimming pool. With so much on offer here, we wouldn't want to leave, but if you do want to explore out and about – the village-like atmosphere of the Tahquitz River Estates has vintage shops to browse and a diverse dining scene. For even more restaurant choices, head to Downtown Palm Springs, a five-minute drive away or under a ten-minute cycle ride on the bikes provided by your hosts.
