About this home

New York based Formarch design has brought a uniquely Italian modernist elegance to mid-century American architecture, in this stunning villa, at the prestigious Seven Lakes Country Club. Featured in Wallpaper Magazine and a star of Palm Springs Modernism Week, the home is as comfortable as it is stylishly elevated.

Past its three-dimensional shadow block walls, enter the foyer though a pivoting entry door and take in the gorgeous terrazzo tile floors throughout. A European style custom kitchen with Bosch appliances, offers warm wood toned cabinets over stainless drawers with open shelving for easy reach. The heart of the home is the open living and dining area, highlighted by striated white oak walls and an asymmetrical floating fireplace. Large light filled windows lead out to your leisure terrace to take in the 2nd green, mountain vistas and the iconic Bob Hope Estate. Both large bedrooms, with ample custom closets, are set privately on either side the home. The two skylit bathrooms offer walk in showers, timeless stacked tile walls, custom floating vanities and vintage Stilnovo accent lighting. Mechanical upgrades including a new pool pump, gas line, new sub-panels, HVAC . Past the 24-hour guarded gate, 'The Gem of the Desert' offers a unique lifestyle with its Ted Robinson-designed 18-hole executive golf course, 15 pools and spas and lively William Cody designed clubhouse waiting to welcome you to its formal dining room, casual cocktail lounge and a terrace overlooking the famous Seven Lakes fountain.
