Property Description

Exceptional mid-century modern living in the historically designated section of Sandpiper, one of Palm Desert's most celebrated architectural communities. This spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers approximately 1,828 square feet and was originally built in 1964. The classic Sandpiper atrium floor plan has been thoughtfully transformed with a sophisticated contemporary renovation that complements its mid-century architecture. An expansive open-concept living, dining and kitchen area is filled with natural light from clerestory windows, walls of glass and multiple skylights, hallmarks of William Krisel's celebrated Sandpiper designs. At the center of the home is a striking modern kitchen featuring sleek cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a dramatic geometric tile backsplash and an oversized island with generous seating. The island incorporates additional storage, a built-in microwave and beverage refrigerator, creating an impressive space for both everyday living and entertaining. Large-format tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, reinforcing the home's clean, contemporary aesthetic. The living room retains the openness and indoor-outdoor connection that make Sandpiper residences so distinctive, while a sculptural fireplace wall provides a dramatic architectural focal point. The adjacent dining area opens through walls of glass to a private patio framed by wraparound clerestory windows above and Sandpiper's signature breeze concrete block on poolside patio, extending the living space outdoors. Southwestern mountain views, along with views of the pool and greenbelt views complete the quintessential Sandpiper experience. Located just off El Paseo in South Palm Desert, this is a compelling combination of authentic mid-century architecture and a thoroughly modern interior, all within the distinctive setting that has made Sandpiper an enduring part of the desert's architectural legacy.
