More Insights
Built in 1966 (60 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1966, shows signs of regular upkeep and some updates, but key areas like the kitchen and one bathroom are significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances (except for a newer stainless steel fridge), laminate-style countertops, and a dated tile backsplash. The second bathroom has very dated blue tile work, a pedestal sink, and an old-fashioned light fixture. While the flooring (large format tiles), paint, and some light fixtures (recessed lighting, modern ceiling fans) appear updated and well-maintained, the overall aesthetic in critical areas suggests a renovation that is likely 15-30 years old, or piecemeal updates over time, rather than a recent comprehensive renovation. It is clean and functional but requires minor updates to modernize.

About this home
A rare chance to own in one of South Palm Springs’ most iconic historically designated communities—Villa Roma, designed by James K. Schuler & Associates and built by noted Orange County developer Dominick Sfregola. This is the kind of architectural pedigree buyers come to Palm Springs for—especially during Modernism Week. Set against dramatic San Jacinto Mountain scenery, this residence delivers the true Palm Springs lifestyle: timeless Mid-Century character, a light-filled interior, and the unmistakable charm of Villa Roma’s signature Roman-inspired design elements and beautifully maintained grounds. Villa Roma’s historic designation could provide an opportunity for eligible owners to pursue potential Mills Act property tax savings (buyer to verify eligibility and application process with the City of Palm Springs). Whether you’re looking for a design-driven charming desert home with a legacy Mid-Century style complex—this one checks the boxes in a way ordinary condos simply can’t.
