1552 e twin palms drive

Design-significant residence in Smoke Tree Court, a rare four-home private enclave in South Palm Springs' iconic Twin Palms neighborhood. Designed by legendary designer Steve Chase, this home offers exceptional privacy, quiet, and a strong architectural point of view equally compelling as a primary residence, creative retreat, or investment opportunity. A grand entry opens to living spaces defined by soaring open-beam ceilings, original tile flooring, and a dramatic statement fireplace. Natural light fills the home throughout the day, with completely unobstructed western exposures and vivid sunset views over the San Jacinto Mountains. French doors throughout lead to private patios, creating seamless indoor/outdoor flow and a retreat-like sense of calm. The layout includes 3 bed & 3 baths, with the third bedroom currently configured as a den/office with custom built-ins, PLUS a flexible bonus room ideal for a studio, gym, or additional workspace. The residence thoughtfully balances original design integrity with modern upgrades, including a fully updated professional kitchen, smart-home features, owned solar, upgraded mechanical systems, and high-efficiency pool equipment. Outdoors, a private oasis framed by mature native landscaping features a pool and spa, private dry sauna, and covered outdoor kitchen with a wood-burning pizza oven, bbq grill, quiet, intimate, and perfectly suited for entertaining or relaxation. Additional highlights include a gated entry, attached two-car garage. Residents of Smoke Tree Court enjoy access to a private pink "Barbie" tennis court, recently resurfaced, underscoring the enclave's boutique character. Twin Palms remains below the city's 20% short-term rental cap, and the HOA allows short-term rentals offering valuable flexibility for future use. Just minutes from South Palm Springs' dining, shopping, & nightlife, this is a rare opportunity to own a timeless, design-driven desert sanctuary.
