Tucked behind lush hedges on a quiet street in Tahquitz River Estates, this gated mid-century ranch masterfully balances architectural character with modern refinement. Designed for privacy and effortless indoor-outdoor living, the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home is centered around a sparkling pool, with multiple outdoor lounging and dining areas framed by dramatic south and west-facing mountain views. Inside, iconic mid-century details take center stage. A slump stone fireplace anchors the open living area, while walls of glass bathe the interiors in soft, natural light. The chef's kitchen is beautifully outfitted with Viking, Bosch, and Liebherr appliances, a custom pantry, and smart storage solutions. The primary suite captures stunning pool and mountain views, opening directly to the backyard. Its en suite bath features a walk-in rainfall shower with window and Hansgrohe fixtures. Two spacious guest bedrooms comfortably accommodate king-sized beds and share a stylish guest bath with a sculptural soaking tub and designer fixtures. Modern upgrades include energy-efficient windows and doors, recessed lighting, copper plumbing, leased solar, and updated pool equipment. A two-car garage, three-car motor court, and potential for an ADU add to the home's versatility. Located moments from downtown Palm Springs, this property also benefits from Tahquitz River Estates' full short-term rental licensing availability, making it an exceptional investment and getaway in the heart of Palm Springs.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
