40851 Bob Hope Drive

About this home

Under a three-minute drive to Eisenhower Health, this turn-key 1956 Mid-Century Modern by Richard Leitch, FAIA offers something rare in the desert: an architecturally significant residence you can move into tomorrow. It sits within Tierra Del Sol, the Rancho Mirage enclave developed by Robert McCulloch and honored with a national AIA award for its master planning. Showcasing 39 homes arranged around shared green space and a central clubhouse, tucked just off Bob Hope Drive and still one of the city's quiet architectural treasures.The home has been carefully renovated to preserve its design integrity while elevating livability for today's lifestyle. Terrazzo-style flooring flows throughout the open plan, clerestory windows draw in soft natural light, and warm wood cabinetry against clean white surfaces reinforces the architectural rhythm of line, light, and material. Nothing to do but arrive. The flexible layout offers two ensuite bedrooms plus a third bedroom. An ideal configuration for medical roommates, visiting staff, guests, or multi-generational living, and a rare advantage among historic modernist homes. Outside, mature citrus grapefruit, tangerine, and orange trees frames a private garden that reflects Rancho Mirage's heritage of resort living, with spectacular mountain views beyond. The community pool and expansive grounds provide the relaxed social setting of classic Palm Springs-era living, all supported by an ultra-rare $43/month HOA. Under three minutes to Eisenhower Health, one mile to The River, and moments from the shopping and dining of the Highway 111 corridor: architectural pedigree, low-maintenance ownership, and everyday convenience in one address. A home like this is best understood in person! Call Tony Vaccaro - 323.377.1831 - to schedule your private showing today and experience it for yourself.
