Welcome to Racquet Club Cottages West (Garden Villas), a rare William F. Cody-designed 1-bedroom, 1-bath modernist residence offering architectural pedigree, total privacy, and true Palm Springs resort living in coveted Uptown Palm Springs. Unit #101 is a standalone model with no shared walls and no adjacent patio, featuring a 200+ sq ft private jasmine-lined garden patio designed for seamless indoor and outdoor living. Fully designer remodeled in 2025, this glass-walled post and beam home features a custom walnut kitchen with full slab dolomite counters, Fisher and Paykel appliances, and bespoke craftsmanship that honors and elevates the original design. The south-facing orientation frames San Jacinto Mountain views and bathes the interior in golden winter light, while the terrazzo-clad wet room style bath delivers spa-level luxury with custom millwork and a refined vanity. A built-in walnut bar, wardrobe, and patio-accessed closet provide exceptional storage, ideal for full-time living or a polished desert escape. Designed by Cody and completed in 1960, this Class 1 Historic District is prized for architectural purity and lush grounds by Phil Shipley and Dudley Trudgett, with sculpted pathways, reflective water features, and towering palms creating a secluded resort atmosphere. Featured in leading midcentury architecture books and publications, including Wallpaper and Atomic Ranch, and showcased on Modernism Week tours, the gated community includes a 9-foot deep pool and luxury spa, restored to its original 1960s design in 2022. Additional highlights include fee land ownership (you own the land), Mills Act eligibility for potential tax advantages, and 14-day short-term rental eligibility. The HOA includes water, trash, roof and exterior maintenance, full-time gardener, pool and spa, complimentary laundry, and upkeep of the community's streams and gardens. Just minutes from the Uptown Design District with cafes, galleries, boutiques, and dining, this is more than a home. It is a collectible piece of Palm Springs modernism, beautifully restored for today. Buyer to verify HOA rules, Mills Act status, and rental requirements and restrictions. Please schedule a private showing today.
