About This Home
Discover a rare opportunity to own a piece of Palm Springs history with this 2-bedroom, 2-bath home, originally designed in 1967 by renowned architect Richard E. Harrison and redesigned in 2025. Among the first residences built in the iconic Seven Lakes Golf & Country Club, this home combines timeless mid-century modern architecture with thoughtful contemporary updates--all in a serene cul-de-sac setting overlooking the second fairway of the Ted Robinson-designed executive golf course. Inside, you'll find a light-filled, open layout designed to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The updated kitchen and bathrooms feature sleek finishes, custom cabinetry, and premium appliances, while walls of glass invite natural light and frame striking mountain and golf course views. With a modern living room fireplace, an upgraded electrical panel, owned solar system and double paned sliding doors/windows, this residence offers eco-conscious upgrades that lower your carbon footprint while elevating the home's comfort and style. The versatile second bedroom can easily serve as a guest suite, home office, or private retreat. Large sliding doors showcase the tranquil courtyard and mountain backdrop, creating a relaxing escape within your own home. Behind the guarded gates of Seven Lakes, residents enjoy access to an array of amenities including a private clubhouse with restaurant and bar, 15 heated pools and spas, tennis and pickleball courts, and the signature Ted Robinson golf course. An assigned carport adds convenience with parking and extra storage. This home embodies the Palm Springs lifestyle--architectural pedigree, modern upgrades, sustainability, and resort-style living in one of the desert's most sought-after communities.
