CENTRAL PALM SPRINGS 48@BARISTO TOWNHOME WITH PRIVATE POOL AND CASITA. Anchored in wind-sheltered central Palm Springs near Movie Colony and an easy stroll from everything, 48@Baristo is one of the most sought-after places to live. Within minutes, residents can curate the lifestyle they want: wellness at the PS Swim Center, Sunrise and Ruth Hardy Parks, the Mizell Center, gyms, golf courses, tennis and pickleball courts, hiking trails, the CV biking lane, and the Spa Casino; convenience at the Farmers Market, shopping, drugstores, and urgent care; and vibrant entertainment in the Arenas District and downtown Palm Springs, with restaurants, cafs, wine bars, and theaters. This gated modern community offers resort living in one of the most coveted locations in Palm Springs. Designed by acclaimed architectural firm DesignArc and developed by respected builder PS Modern, this low-density, two-time award-winning modern luxury townhome enclave is a study in Palm Springs modernism, where structure, light, and the desert landscape are in perfect sync. This 48-residence community has sculpted desert gardens and fresh exterior paint, further highlighting its modernist lines. The community is as financially sound as it is beautiful: a full-time residence, lock-and-leave second home, or Palm Springs luxury real estate investment. This highly desirable end-unit C-Plan, the only floor plan with a separate detached casita, offers 3BD/3.5BA and 2,002 sq ft of sophisticated indoor-outdoor living, elevating modern luxury to art. Dramatic two-story ceilings, clerestory windows, disappearing sliders, skylights, and sculpted light create a striking interplay of volume and shadow, while the great room opens to a private Pebble Tec saltwater pool/spa and lush desert landscaping for true resort-style serenity. Thoughtful upgrades include new marble-look porcelain flooring, refinished satin-black cabinetry, designer Italian backsplashes, approximately 40 recessed LED fixtures, high-efficiency variable-speed HVAC, Lutron Caseta smart-home lighting, hot-water recirculation, and an epoxy-finished attached two-car garage. The gourmet kitchen features high-end Caf appliances; upstairs, two luxurious en-suite bedrooms feel like private spa retreats with natural light. The detached casita, with dual pocketing sliders, wet bar, private bath, and separate HVAC, is an ideal guest suite, creative studio, or executive workspace. In a city that is rapidly evolving into one of the world’s premier resort and cultural destinations, securing the right address is everything. This modern townhome lives like an architectural single-family home, offering a private pool, detached casita, fee-simple land, low HOA dues, and robust reserves in a walk-to-everything central Palm Springs setting. For design-savvy, investment-minded buyers seeking iconic architecture, resort-style indoor-outdoor living, and Palm Springs luxury real estate, 48@Baristo isn’t just an address, IT’S THE DESTINATION.
