Set against a breathtaking mountain backdrop in Palm Springs’ iconic Historic Tennis Club, this reimagined modern residence is a study in light, proportion, and effortless desert living. Originally envisioned by architect Michael Black, AIA, and thoughtfully transformed by award-winning architect RL Williams, the home blends clean contemporary architecture with subtle mid-century influences. Expansive walls of glass draw the San Jacinto Mountains into the living spaces, filling the home with natural light throughout the day.
Spanning approximately 3,300 square feet, the extensively upgraded open-concept floor plan features cathedral-like ceilings and main living areas that flow seamlessly into a striking chef’s kitchen with sleek finishes, modern appliances, and generous space for entertaining and everyday living.
The main house offers two spacious bedrooms, two beautifully appointed bathrooms, and a dedicated office. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with filtered light, garden and mountain views, and a spa-inspired bath. A separate guest casita provides a third bedroom and full bath, offering exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, or a secluded escape.
Situated on an approximately 17,000-square-foot lot, the grounds feature lush desert landscaping, a fragrant lavender garden, and an orchard of lemon, orange, and grapefruit trees. A resort-style saltwater pool and spa are surrounded by patios designed for intimate moments and lively gatherings, all framed by serene mountain views.
Additional highlights include a two-car garage, solar panels for energy efficiency, fresh white exterior styling, and extensive recent upgrades. Modern, elegant, and deeply connected to its natural surroundings, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of architecture, comfort, and effortless desert living.
