Vista Las Palmas SubDv. ⋅ 5 Beds ⋅ 5 Baths ⋅ 5,633 SqFt. ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ 219154262 MLS
A rare opportunity to own an exceptionally intact work of Palm Springs architectural history. Designed by James H. McNaughton in 1967 as the Martin Lipton Residence, 690 W. Stevens Road is a remarkable surviving example of McNaughton's distinctive ''Desert Classic'' architecture, blending dramatic scale, classical composition and Hollywood Regency sensibility with the desert landscape. Set on approximately .55 acres, the 5,633± sq. ft. residence has been carefully preserved rather than reimagined. Original monolithic-pour terrazzo floors, extraordinary 12-foot architectural windows, monumental interior spaces and original spatial relationships remain, while the pool and surrounding deck were restored to their original design. Featured in Palm Springs Life, The Desert Sun and Modernism Week publications, the residence has also welcomed hundreds of visitors during two Modernism Week events. Today, when so many mid-century homes have been extensively altered, the authenticity found here is increasingly rare. This is not a contemporary interpretation of 1960s Palm Springs architecture--the experience is already here. Dramatic views, exceptional privacy and grand indoor-outdoor spaces make this significant architectural work remarkably livable. An extraordinary opportunity to become the next steward of an authentic 1967 Palm Springs residence preserved for nearly six decades.

Vista Las Palmas SubDv. ⋅ 5 Beds ⋅ 6 Baths ⋅ 3,689 SqFt. ⋅ ACTIVE Status ⋅ PS-26994823 MLS
Designed by Charles Du Bois and built by the Alexander Construction Company, this Vista Las Palmas home sits on one of the neighborhood's larger lots, with Mt. San Jacinto rising behind it. Turquoise double doors open from a stone-walled entry breezeway to classic midcentury details: tongue-and-groove ceilings, dark exposed beams, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Across the back of the house, walls of sliding glass open to the yard and the mountains beyond. The oversized lot leaves room for a long pool, raised tiled spa, and broad lawn, with space left over for lounging. The kitchen is the contemporary note: dark wood cabinetry, quartz counters, a large island, professional range, stainless hood, open shelving and wine refrigerator. Even the sink faces the mountains. The primary suite has its own fireplace and a slider opening directly to the pool. Its bath has a freestanding soaking tub and glass-enclosed shower. A separate casita with kitchenette and private bath opens onto the pool deck, giving guests their own quarters. The main house also includes a family room, exercise room and a laundry room with dog shower. Downtown Palm Springs is minutes away. A Charles Du Bois design in Vista Las Palmas, with more land than most and the mountain views the neighborhood is known for.
