About this property
Praeneste Designed by John Porter C & Albert Frey
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
Enjoy a peaceful stay at this wonderful 4-bedroom estate in Palm Springs. Guests can relax in the spacious bedrooms and make use of amenities like WiFi, heating, and a washing machine. With 4 bathrooms available, everyone can freshen up comfortably. We hope you'll enjoy your stay at our estate.
