2500 Cahuilla Hills Drive, Palm Springs, CA 92264 (MLS# 219083614)

This mid-century inspired modern home was designed by O'Donnell + Escalante Architects; one of Palm Springs' premiere architectural firms, known for its inspired modernist designs. A masterpiece of glass, steel and concrete block, this unique property sits on .69 acres at the desert's edge. Located in the prestigious Cahuilla Hills enclave, it is situated among other historic homes on surrounding hillsides. Walking through the glass front doors, you first encounter the dramatic view from the living room, with its floor-to-ceiling glass walls. Throughout the home, the creative use of varying ceiling heights, topped by clerestory windows, defines the spaces while filling the rooms with light. You will also notice that the home consists of two mainly independent buildings separated by a long narrow atrium. At the intersection of the two structures you will find terrazzo-tiled hallways in three directions, each terminating with a large granite boulder, evoking a Zen rock garden. This home has had the honor of being featured on the Palm Springs Modernism Week Signature Home Tour, in 2015 and 2019, as well as appearing in Elle Decor, and Land Rover Magazines, and videos for the Coachella Music Festival and H&M. Ultimately, the inspired modern architecture and dramatic desert location make this a truly spectacular addition to the legacy of Palm Springs' best historic homes. 1 or 2 adjacent lots are also available for purchase in addition to the house.
