Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
This 1965 mid-century modern home is well-maintained and 'immediately livable,' but it retains most of its original interior features, including 60-year-old cabinetry and tilework in the kitchen and bathrooms. While the architectural pedigree is excellent, the interior components are significantly outdated by modern standards and require updates to meet current luxury expectations, fitting the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained through regular upkeep.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Architectural Pedigree
Designed by legendary architect A. Quincy Jones and located within a newly designated Historic District, this property offers immense rare architectural value and prestige.
- Fee Land Ownership
The property sits on FEE land, meaning you own the land rather than leasing it, which is a significant financial advantage and a rarity in prime South Palm Springs locations.
- Prime End-Unit Positioning
As a west-facing end-unit, the home features a private atrium and a back patio with sought-after, unobstructed views of the San Jacinto mountain range.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Transactional Complexity
The property is currently tenant-occupied and requires the buyer to cooperate with a 1031 exchange, which may limit flexibility regarding move-in dates and closing terms.
- Dated Interior Elements
While the home is well-preserved, many features remain in their original 1965 state, likely requiring a significant budget for modern updates to kitchens and bathrooms.
About 1993 S Camino Real
In 2024, upon the recommendation of the Palm Springs Preservation Foundation, the Palm Springs City Council unanimously voted 5-0 to officially designate Country Club Estates as one of the city's distinguished Mid-Century "Historic Districts". This gorgeous 30-unit PUD, designed by renowned architect A. Quincy Jones, FAIA (known for Sunnylands), is the only residential housing in the entire Coachella Valley crafted by this legendary architect available for purchase. A rarity indeed. It is even rarer when one of these sparkling gems comes to market, with many original features still intact. Sitting on one of the most prime pieces of FEE land (you own it) in treasured South Palm Springs, you are encapsulated by mountain ranges in front and behind you. This desirable end-unit is approached by a tranquil, desert-landscaped pathway that sets a welcoming tone from the moment you arrive. Inside, many original mid-century features have been beautifully preserved, showcasing authentic architectural character throughout. The peek-a-boo kitchen opens to a spacious living area with soaring 10-foot ceilings and the iconic original cinderblock design, creating an open, light-filled atmosphere. A striking central atrium bathes the home in natural light while offering a private, open-air retreat that extends the living space. The primary suite features original sliding screens that reflect Jones' thoughtful open-plan design. Bathrooms retain their original cabinetry and tilework, and a private laundry area adds everyday convenience. The home is beautifully maintained and immediately livable, offering exceptional potential to elevate and add value with thoughtful modern updates. There is also a spacious private back-patio, perfect for a tranquil morning coffee, sunkissed afternoons with a book, or enchanting al fresco dinners at twilight, inviting a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The patio offers stunning, forward-facing views of the San Jacinto mountain range. This feature is only available in west-facing units, which rarely come to market. Off the patio area, a quick trot down a path reveals the exquisite complex pool and spa. Lounge chairs dotted with aqua-blue umbrellas offer sweeping mountain views, rivaling any resort-style retreat. The manicured grounds contain 60-year old mature olive trees, original grassy meadows, and meandering pathways complemented by modern desert landscaping. The development is a fan-favorite, consistently selling out during Modernism Week tours, which help fund HOA improvements. Experience the best of Palm Springs from this perfectly situated location, with shopping, restaurants, and picturesque hiking trails waiting to be explored. Country Club Estates, along with this charming and increasingly rare unit, offers more than just a place to call home. It embodies a modern lifestyle within a mid-century oasis, steeped in history and destined to remain one of Palm Springs' most cherished architectural landmarks. (Property is tenant occupied and Buyer to cooperate with Seller for a 1031 exchange.)
