This dazzling, single-storey villa, situated on a quiet private estate in the heart of Palm Springs, offers a glamorous throwback to the stylish mid-century homes, while at the same time boasting ultra-modern conveniences. Lounging by the pool, with the lush greenery around you and the palm trees swaying above, you’ll find yourself humming a Frank Sinatra tune – this is, after all, Rat Pack territory. The inside is instantly captivating: built by the noted architect Edward ‘Bud’ Furer, the seamless, asymmetric flow is intoxicating. We love the enormous glass walls, which let in floods of natural light and allow for the glorious scenery to become part of the home’s ambience. There are countless unique features throughout: from the showstopping fireplace to the stone walls and gorgeous art pieces. Lounge about on the many plush sofas and armchairs while enjoying a movie night, or fire up the barbecue outside and get everyone together for an alfresco feast under the starry sky.
