This California Ranch-style home was built in the late 1940s by Malcolm Clarke, part owner of the Vegas Sands hotel. In the 1960s noted interior designer Arthur Elrod was commissioned to update the property’s postwar design with the progressive mid-century style that is now synonymous with Palm Springs. Notable additions included a new entry with breeze block partitions to provide visual interest and privacy, an expanded kitchen with St. Charles metal cabinets, and unique bathroom changes. This amazing home and its iconic improvements have been lovingly restored and thoughtfully updated to today’s standard of luxury.
The original and eclectic style of this home delivers tangible charm, whether sitting beneath the beamed ceiling in the living room or taking in panoramic views from the pool and covered front patio. Its generous layout includes four bedrooms and a casita. The master bedroom is exceptional with original sliding door access to the pool area, classic bath, and impressive closet.
Fortunately, this home’s beauty is more than skin deep, with a range of amenities from owned solar to hidden upgrades such as a replaced ducting system to ensure energy efficiency.
