Donald Wexler-Designed Mid-Century Gem in Sagewood. Experience iconic Palm Springs living in this architecturally significant 1,248 sq. ft. end-unit condo at Sagewood, designed by legendary modernist Donald Wexler. A rare opportunity for mid-century purists, this home retains the original, unaltered pinwheel floor plan, offering purposeful structure, exceptional flow, and outdoor access from every room. Set on 18 beautifully manicured acres, Sagewood is an exceptional example of Wexler’s vision–low-density living that harmonizes with its desert surroundings. With only 108 residences, over one-third of the total site is dedicated to open space, making it one of the most spaciously designed communities in Palm Springs. The landscaping is lush and luxurious, with sweeping greenbelts, mature desert trees, blooming flora, and meticulously maintained grounds that offer a true sense of tranquility and refinement. This 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo includes a versatile flex room perfect as a third bedroom, den, or office. The layout includes one en suite bath and one guest bathroom, thoughtfully designed for privacy and functionality. Inside, you’ll find original walnut veneer cabinetry, timeless tile flooring throughout, and a recently installed HVAC system for year-round comfort. Step outside to a dramatic, north-facing private patio with breathtaking mountain views. The outdoor space is adorned with two Australian Mallee trees–beloved by native hummingbirds–and a thriving Mexican lime tree, creating a peaceful garden retreat perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Sagewood residents enjoy three sparkling pools with spas, tennis courts, and pickleball–maintained by a financially strong and proactive HOA. The community has also taken steps to apply for historic district designation, potentially qualifying future owners for Mills Act tax benefits. Just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, this home offers architectural pedigree, serene surroundings, and the best of desert living.
