About This Home

As of March 2024

This iconic mid-century modern complex, designed by legendary architect Albert Frey, is in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood right in the heart of Palm Springs. Villa Hermosa is a unique investment opportunity with the HOA allowing short-term rentals and buyers to verify. Clean lines, geometric shapes, and expansive open space dominate the exterior, reflecting the International Style of modernism that Frey championed. Cantilevered roofs provide shade and architectural drama, while the complex layout embraces the desert landscape, which offers its residents both privacy and community. The result is a stunningly simple yet captivating structure with a perfect location. The condo has two patios, one of which is one of the largest patios in the complex and has stunning mountain views. The remodeled kitchen is generous in size, with updated appliances, counter, and lighting. Enjoy the walk-in shower with the renovated bathroom. The living spaces have updated tile and shutters. Take in the beautifully golden-red-colored San Jacinto Mountains with coffee or a twilight dinner party on the patio.
