Historic Morse House with Swim-Up Bar
HOME HIGHLIGHTS: - Electric shade-covered patio - Private pool and spa - Mountain views - Fire pit - Media room
DETAILS: The Morse House is a historic 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom estate in Palm Springs that sleeps 6, boasting a mid-century modern interior and exterior—perfect for those who appreciate rich architecture and luxury living. Designed by renowned architects Dan Palmer and William Krisel, this impeccable home has a rich heritage, as it was later renovated by Hollywood architect Harold “Hal” Levitt. Located in the highly sought-after Vista Las Palmas neighborhood, it was the first to be designated a Class 1 Historic Site within the community—and even won the Palm Springs Preservation Award in 2018.
A grand entryway opens onto an art-filled hallway that beckons guests to stop and admire before continuing into the bright and airy great room. Reminiscent of glamorous mid-century entertaining, the gorgeous sunken living room provides sensational views of the San Jacinto Mountains from a vibrant blue sectional and nearby bar. The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the retractable glass doors that seemingly vanish into the walls, giving friends and family direct access from the living area to the outdoor pool! This ultra-luxe feature provides vacationers maximum comfort and extravagance—especially with a refreshing swim-up bar steps away. Stunning terrazzo floors lead to a well-lit dining area that seats 6 before transitioning into the sleek kitchen. With polished cabinetry, a blue backsplash, premium appliances, and a butler’s pantry, this space will inspire any chef. Enjoy the recently added media room with a Smart TV, providing the ease of today’s streaming services with a nod to Old Hollywood viewing rooms. A testament to comfort and elegance, the first guest bedroom boasts a king bed and gas fireplace, the second has a king bed and a skylight over the walk-in shower, and the third features a comfy queen bed. Discover lush, top-tier turf bordering the expansive backyard, complemented by an electric-shade covered patio, cozy firepit area, and relaxing sitting spa. The unique standing art pieces placed around the yard ensure there’s always something new to explore and view.
On-site parking in the garage and driveway makes it easy to explore the area, including local boutiques, high-end restaurants, popular nightclubs, and even a trip to Joshua Tree National Park—less than 1 hour away. Take advantage of this one-of-a-kind getaway by booking today!
