About this home

Some homes are renovated. This one was reconceived. Set directly on the fairway within Indian Canyons, Palm Springs' most coveted enclave, this four-bedroom, four-bath residence emerges from a 12-month ground-up transformation as a home that feels completely of its place, pocketing glass walls opening to the landscape and the San Jacinto Mountains commanding the view from nearly every room. Light moves through the house differently at every hour. The entry announces the intention immediately. A dramatic glass pivot door opens to a curated indoor garden and a floor-to-ceiling white oak wall, discreetly concealing a hidden closet and powder room. Beyond, the main living room is centered on a volcanic stone fireplace, its presence both grounding and sculptural. Solid oak doors, custom cabinetry, and skylights drawing the desert sky deep into the living spaces complete a first impression that is difficult to shake. The chef's kitchen is appointed with a full Dacor suite, 48-inch professional range, dual dishwashers, and integrated Sub-Zero refrigeration, alongside marble surfaces chosen for a life well-lived. A striking rare marble bar anchors the living area with understated elegance, housing built-in wine refrigeration and commanding attention from every angle. Spa-inspired bathrooms feature living succulent garden shower installations, bringing the desert landscape inward in a deeply considered way. Two primary suites offer generous custom walk-in closets with ambient wardrobe lighting, while two additional guest bedrooms share a full bath. A generous walk-in pantry serves the kitchen beautifully, and a substantial laundry room does double duty as a mudroom, handling the practical demands of desert living without sacrificing an inch of elegance. Every system, electrical, plumbing, roof, and HVAC, was replaced in full during the renovation, offering the confidence of new construction within an established neighborhood. A large two-car garage with EV charging completes the picture. Outside, mature palms and olive trees frame a sequence of lounge areas and fire features lit by dramatic landscape lighting. At the center: a resort-caliber pool with a deep end designed for actual diving, an expansive sun shelf, and an elevated spa that spills into the pool via a cascading waterfall. On a warm desert evening with the mountains lit in alpenglow, there is nowhere else you will want to be. Indian Canyons sits at the base of the San Jacinto Mountains, quiet in a way few Palm Springs neighborhoods manage, yet genuinely close to everything.
