Live More! - Rare Wexler designed Sunmor Retreat!

CITY ID#:003419

The Sunmor neighborhood has the highest concentration of Alexander and other architecturally significant midcentury modern homes built between 1955 and 1961. The original developer, Robert "Bob" Higgins, built the first 11 homes; all designed by the iconic Palm Springs architecture team of Donald Wexler & Richard Harrison. Live More! was one of those homes built in 1955.

This 3 bed, 2 bath home is the perfect getaway for family or friends. Thoughtfully renovated and beautifully furnished, the house features a modern open floor plan, gleaming porcelain floors, original open-beam and tongue and groove ceiling and a smart update for today – the kitchen open to the large living space. Two separate seating areas give you plenty of space to relax and look out the wall of glass to the pool or enjoy what’s on the 50” Smart TV. The dining area features a modern table that seats 8.

The kitchen includes quartz countertops, white lacquer cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. There is also a breakfast bar with counter seating – perfect for keeping the cook company or working on your laptop should you need to check in with the office.

The fenced and private desert-landscaped yard has stunning mountain views. The 14’ x 28’ pool has all-day sun exposure and the spa sits above the pool with a spillover waterfall and great views of the San Jacinto mountains. And in season, you’ll enjoy an abundance of citrus to make the perfect cocktail.

The spacious primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and 50" smart TV. There is a large ensuite with dual sinks, a large walk-in shower with 10” rain shower head, and a clerestory window that provides palm tree views and tons of natural light. This bedroom also has a walk-in closet.

Across the hall, you’ll find two guest bedrooms. The first has a queen bed, a large closet, and a 40” TV. The second guest bedroom has two standard twin beds, a large closet, and a 32” TV. Both bedrooms have sliding glass door access to the pool. The bedrooms share a large guest bathroom with a wide double sink vanity and step-in shower.

Live More! is in a beautiful midcentury neighborhood, a great central Palm Springs location, and just a short drive to shopping, golf courses, and downtown.

Enjoyed our stay!

Love Sunmor estates and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Live-More home. The interior is gorgeous, highly upgraded, well-stocked and very comfortable. The primary bed and bath is fabulous. The pool is beautiful but the huge backyard is in need of some new patio furniture (like couches) additional umbrellas (since no pergola) and landscaping in order to enjoy the outdoor living as much as we did the indoor. Highly recommend!

Mid century Dream!

Probably my favorite tiny neighborhood of mid century places in Palm Springs. Easy to get to everything. Pool is great, hot tub is great. Yard is huge. The interior is perfect, wish my house was decorated as thoughtfully and as nice! The rule of thumb for a VRBO: I would I live there and Yes I would!

Summer getaway

Altamira property management could not have been better. They accommodated all of our needs and we’re unbelievably responsive. The house was perfect for our family and was located close enough to be convenient while enjoying privacy. This will be our go to home in Palm Springs as long as Altamira manages.

Great place to relax

The house and pool was a great place to relax. I do have a couple suggestions. I would like a more comfortable couch. The couch looks nice in the TV area, but would like one more comfortable. Would be nice to have a ping pong table in the garage or extend a patio cover. There seems to be plenty of room. I know it is easy for a person to spend other people's money, so these are just suggestions. We enjoyed the home.

Fabulous stay

We were here much of the winter of 2021. Lovely mid-century gem in such a charming mid-century neighborhood. Great design in the home, wonderful backyard and pool/spa with beautiful view. The management company was excellent, incredibly responsive and helpful to work with. Would recommend this home and management company to anyone.

Great relaxing location

The house was great with nice mid-century modern furnishings. Pool was great to cool off in. Kitchen was well stocked. We'd definitely stay there again. The only downside is that this house is in Palm Springs which has pretty strict rules for short-term rentals like this - no music outside and strict noise rules. Management company was nice about rules and communicated well.

Clean, well-furnished, and close to everything

As advertised: very nice house, tastefully decorated, in very good condition and upkeep. Kitchen is well-equipped/stocked. Comfortable rooms and beds. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Many things to do within a 10-20 minutes drive: downtown Palm Springs, trails, etc. Airport is very convenient, literally 5 minutes away (and, so, yes, there is some aircraft noise, but it's a small airport that shuts down early in the evenings). The management company is outstanding: friendly, professional, and proactive. They cheerfully accommodated a request for an earlier-than-standard 4pm checkin and the in-person briefing required by Palm Springs for all vacation properties. We enjoyed our stay - especially the pool and hot tub time - , and would happily visit again.
