Description

AN HEIRLOOM OF PALM SPRINGS MODERNISM. In the heart of Palm Springs' iconic Racquet Club Cottages West, designed by William Cody, developed by Paul Trousdale, and landscaped by Phil Shipley and Dudley Trudgett, one residence stands quietly apart. Within this intimate enclave of just 37 cottages, 360 Cabrillo #118, a midcentury modern home with no shared walls and a storage space buffering its nearest neighbor, occupies a private corner with premier south and west exposure, cinematic San Jacinto Mountain views, and one of the largest private gardens in the community. Architecture and landscape move in unison here as glass walls dissolve into greenery, sunlight drifts across post and beam ceilings, and brise soleil screens trace soft shadows that shift with the day. Though classified as a one-bedroom (with the possibility to create a second), two bath residence, nearly 1,100 square feet unfold with generous scale and flexibility, equally suited to retreat, entertaining, or creative life. Every detail honors the home's modernist lineage while quietly elevating comfort: Fisher & Paykel induction range, Miele appliances, Toto Neorest toilets, Hansgrohe fixtures, whole home filtration, tankless system, LED lighting, Hunter Douglas Luminette shades, Nest technology, SimpliSafe security, and historically accurate screen doors. Life within this Class 1 Historic District carries a rare cultural prestige. Regularly featured in Modernism Week, Racquet Club Cottages West draws an international mix of creative minds, such as architects, designers, photographers, and collectors who value authenticity and stewardship. Perfect as a Palm Springs pied-a-terre, a refined primary residence, or a strategic income property, #118 combines enduring design with practical appeal. With Mills Act tax advantages and 14-day short-term rentals allowed, it offers a balance of architectural integrity and financial intelligence. Close to the celebrated Uptown Design District, with its stylish cafes, restaurants, art galleries, boutiques, and nightlife, the home is both connected and secluded, allowing residents to move effortlessly between desert tranquility and urban vibrancy. As demand for authentic Palm Springs midcentury homes accelerates, opportunities of this caliber are increasingly rare. This residence is both collectible and livable, a luminous intersection of history, design, and desert serenity. The HOA includes water, trash, roof, exterior walls, landscaping, the community pool and spa, and the maintenance of the stream and pathways that give the property its lush, secluded rhythm.
