Description
Desert Holly is one of Palm Springs' rare architectural treasures, earning a coveted Class 1 Historic Designation for its distinctive mid-century modern design and exceptional preservation. Developed in 1957 by respected Long Beach builder William B. O'Brien, this intimate enclave of just 14 residences surrounds a sparkling pool and beautifully maintained desert landscaping. Residence #5 enjoys a prized corner location at the far northwest edge of the community, offering dramatic, unobstructed mountain views, often snowcapped in winter, framed by classic Palm Springs palm trees. Inside, angled walls of glass rise toward beamed ceilings, filling the home with natural light and capturing the essence of iconic desert modernism. Lovingly restored, this light and airy residence retains many original details, including jalousie windows for natural cross ventilation, the original hearth and steel gas fireplace, a vintage bathtub, and a unique dining-area light fixture. Thoughtful updates completed in 2018, including high-end appliances and cabinetry, complement the home's original architectural spirit. Whether used as a Palm Springs pied--terre or a full-time desert residence, this jewel box property offers style, serenity, and historic pedigree. As an added benefit, Desert Holly's historic designation may qualify owners for meaningful property tax savings through the Mills Act. Combined with a well-managed HOA and low monthly dues of $410, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy classic mid-century living in a wonderful Palm Springs location close to everything.
