Why choose between classic Palm Springs mid-century architecture and contemporary design when you can have both? Just two short blocks from El Paseo, the desert's Rodeo Drive of luxury shopping, galleries and dining, this remarkable South Palm Desert property brings two architectural eras together in perfect harmony.Built in 1956, the iconic butterfly-roofed residence radiates timeless Palm Springs elegance and architectural cachet. Three beams anchor the open great room, where walls of glass, clerestory windows, tongue-and-groove ceilings, original concrete floors and exposed brick celebrate mid-century design. Sunlight bathes the south-facing home, while a sleek updated kitchen features a generous seating island and coffee/bar station. An oversized slider opens to a covered dining patio. The spacious ensuite primary opens to the backyard, joined by a serene guest bedroom and full guest bath. A bonus room with laundry and its own full bath offers endless possibilities: home office, fitness studio, creative retreat or space for overnight guests.Now for the contemporary showstopper! Completed in 2024, the architect-designed double casita is a striking contrast, yet a perfect complement. Two equally fabulous ensuite bedrooms feature mini-split AC, concrete floors, poolside sliders
