Description

Experience the timeless allure of Palm Springs with this architectural residence in the coveted Racquet Club Estates neighborhood. Originally constructed in 1959 by the Alexander Construction Company and attributed to celebrated architects Palmer & Krisel, this iconic home embodies the essence of Desert Modernism with its soaring beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, clean architectural lines, and seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Once owned by Milburn Stone, the well-known actor best known for portraying "Doc" Adams on the long-running television series Gunsmoke, this pedigreed residence has been thoughtfully transformed into a sophisticated modern retreat. The open-concept floor plan creates an effortless flow between the kitchen, dining area, and living spaces, ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. Four bedrooms and three beautifully designed bathrooms provide an abundance of space that is flexible for full-time residents, weekend getaways, or hosting family and friends. Accessed via a dramatic glass breezeway, the show-stopping primary retreat is bathed in natural light through walls of glass that overlook the resort-inspired backyard. The luxurious spa-like bath embraces Palm Springs' signature indoor-outdoor lifestyle and features a soaking tub and shower surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass. Outside, the quintessential desert experience awaits. The shimmering pool serves as the centerpiece of a beautifully reimagined outdoor environment complete with a bocce ball court, multiple lounge and dining areas, and spectacular mountain views. Beautifully landscaped, both the front and rear yards showcase drought-conscious desert landscaping that is as sustainable as it is stunning. Modern upgrades enhance comfort and efficiency throughout the home, including dual-pane windows, a solar array, and two air conditioning systems installed in 2024. Combining architectural significance, celebrity provenance, thoughtful contemporary design, and exceptional outdoor living, this extraordinary home represents a rare opportunity to own a true piece of Palm Springs history while enjoying the conveniences of modern luxury.
