Iconic Mid-Century Micro Resort by W. Krisel with Pool, Spa & Large Guest House
Welcome to the Desert Monarch!
Located on a quiet street of the picturesque Racquet Club Estates, this compound by famed architect William Krisel with a 3-bedroom main house and 800 sqft casita greets you with classic 1960’s charm and authentic style.
Designated by the city of Palm Springs as a Class 4 Historic Landmark due to its perfectly preserved iconic butterfly roofline and shadow & breeze block walls, the home was featured in the coffee table book ‘Palm Springs Mid-Century Modern.’
The Desert Monarch blends tasteful interior furniture and accents with modern amenities. The home features a central sound system, convenient appliances, smart home controls, a huge TV for movie nights, a gas fireplace, and ultrafast WiFi throughout.
The main house has an open floor-plan living room, fully equipped kitchen, three very comfortable bedrooms, and two full bathrooms.
The spacious casita has its own living room with a pool table, kitchen, large bedroom with a king-size bed, full bathroom and laundry room. The bright guest house has beautiful pool and mountain views throughout.
The expansive yards and large pool invite you to enjoy the indoor-outdoor living Palm Springs is famous for. Lounge by the fountain of the in-pool tanning bench, slip into the raised spa, sit below a little waterfall, fire up the BBQ, or just sink into an egg chair and enjoy the panoramic views of the towering mountain range.
There’s an outdoor shower, bocce court, and plenty of seating for all your family and friends.
When the sun goes down over Mount San Jacinto, the gas fire pit and ambient landscape & pool lighting will set the mood for unforgettable desert nights.
(The pool can be heated for an additional utility fee.)
