Perched high above Palm Springs in the sought-after Little Tuscany neighborhood, this striking example of modernist architecture offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and breathtaking "top of the world" views. Masterfully sited to capture sweeping 360 degree vistas of the valley floor, desert expanse, and Mount San Jacinto, the home reflects the natural drama of the landscape itself. The hillside ascent builds quiet anticipation, culminating in an entry that reveals a sweeping desert panorama in unforgettable fashion. Conceived at the height of desert modernism and retaining original interior elements by legendary Palm Springs designer Steve Chase, the residence channels a spirit of casual California elegance. Its nearly 5,400 square feet of living space is thoughtfully balanced, offering both grand entertaining areas and tranquil retreats. The pool terrace invites both leisurely afternoons in the sun and elegant evenings under desert skies. Additional features include a dedicated wine room, sauna, gallery-style architectural details, and original vein-cut honed travertine floors that lend a timeless, desert-appropriate elegance throughout. Thoughtfully landscaped with mature palms, blooming bougainvillea, and sculptural cacti, the landscaping offers a vibrant counterpoint to the home’s clean lines, layering texture and color into the hillside setting. Elevated in every sense, this residence redefines what it means to live above it all.
