Set on a rare double lot of nearly half an acre, the nearly 5,000-square-foot home captures sweeping views of Mount Eisenhower and the Santa Rosa Mountains. Originally designed by celebrated designer Steven Chase in 1970, this storied residence has been extensively reimagined for contemporary living, pairing clean architectural lines and sophisticated finishes with expansive walls of glass. Beyond the private walled entrance, a resort-inspired courtyard reveals a saltwater pool with tanning ledge, graceful arching fountains, a spa, and inviting lounging terraces. Bold red doors provide a memorable contrast to the crisp white architecture. At the heart of the home, disappearing Fleetwood glass doors connect generous living spaces to two distinct outdoor worlds, the privacy of the pool courtyard and an expansive golf course terrace framed by fairways, water, and mountains. Covered seating, an outdoor fire feature, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow create a remarkable setting for entertaining. The chef's kitchen features waterfall-edge counters, European cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and Thermador appliances, including double ovens and dual dishwashers. An adjoining entertaining bar offers wine refrigeration, an ice maker, and dual beverage refrigerators. Five en-suite bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged in separate wings. The primary retreat enjoys golf and mountain views, a freestanding soaking tub, oversized shower, separate steam shower, custom walk-in closet, and secluded outdoor spa and garden. An infrared sauna and cold plunge further elevate the home's wellness experience. With potential space for a future casita, ADU, or additional garage, subject to approvals, this distinctive residence offers a rare combination of contemporary design, exceptional privacy, and the enduring beauty of desert living.
