About this house rental

Palm Springs STR License # 068700

Unmatched indoor/outdoor living in Palm Springs.

Designed by John Porter Clark and Albert Frey under Van Pelt and Lind. The house is of very modern design, although Frey only designed a small study that was adjacent to the house. The house was nicknamed “Praeneste,” and when it was completed in January of 1936, Frey and Clark were both at the housewarming party. In 1942 it was sold to the famous author Harold Bell Wright.

If privacy is essential, this paparazzi-proof mini-estate rates a 10! Enjoy a property set amidst lush, mature landscaping and sylvan gardens. This nearly half-acre property affords serenity and seclusion in South Palm Spring's desirable Tahquitz River Estates. This modern contemporary features four bedrooms and 3.5 baths in 2600 sq. ft. This home offers an open floor plan with sliding and pocketing Fleetwood doors that vanish, presenting the best of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The Cook's kitchen features Wolf appliances / double ovens, a microwave and four-burner cooktop, a Subzero refrigerator, and a Viking refrigerator. The primary bath is deluxe with a steam shower and dual vanities. The three guest rooms are separate from the main house affording even more privacy. The property features an auto-gated motor court and a customized three-car garage with direct home access. This exceptional property exudes a relaxing outdoor lifestyle; a 50' lap pool and tanning shelf, raised spa and covered pool cabana, a comfortable and generous outdoor living room with dramatic lighting.

Spacious layout with chef’s kitchen and glass walls that completely open to an expansive, private backyard. Pool with sun shelf, spa, fire pit, outdoor kitchen with BBQ, outdoor dining, billiards, ping pong, and beautiful mountain views. Three casitas with a separate yard featuring cornhole and bocce court. Beds: K,K,K,Q

Have stayed in several vacation rentals in PS, this place is truly next level. Stayed with family (5 adults total) and the separation between casitas and main property was great. Tons of things to do in the house - huge TV, outdoor pool table, bocce, etc. The barbecue is massive, there are heat lamps so you can still sit outside when it cools in the evening. Top notch kitchen with every appliance you can imagine. All this on top of it being a jaw droppingly beautiful residence inside and out. Check in, communication was all seamless and very easy. Will absolutely stay here again, hopefully soon!
