About this home

Located in the historic El Mirador neighborhood of Palm Springs on a secluded cul-de-sac, this expanded mid-century home offers a refined blend of classic design and modern comfort. Once the site of the legendary El Mirador Hotel, an iconic desert retreat for Hollywood stars and dignitaries, the neighborhood retains a sense of quiet glamour and architectural significance. Inside, the home celebrates gracious indoor-outdoor living with a spacious living room addition that captures dramatic mountain views through clerestory windows and a striking pitched wood ceiling. These thoughtful architectural elements create a rare connection to the surrounding landscape, elevating the classic ranch-style design. The large, industrial-style chef's kitchen features stainless steel countertops, extensive workspace, and storage. Two distinct living areas, each with its own fireplace, offer ideal zones for relaxation or entertaining, allowing for effortless flow between social and private spaces. Travertine floors run seamlessly from the interiors out to the expansive pool deck, reinforcing the home's easy desert lifestyle. The newly added spa spills gracefully into the pool, surrounded by southern and western exposures that ensure sun-drenched winter days and golden evening light. Two bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned for privacy, making this retreat as practical as it is serene. With timeless design, sweeping mountain vistas, and an unbeatable location steeped in Palm Springs history, this home is a true desert gem.
