1952 bones. 2026 brains. Welcome to one of Tahquitz River Estates' most thoughtfully reimagined mid-century moderns, where original masonry craftsmanship meets a fully modernized, energy-positive home built for the way Palm Springs actually lives today. Three bedrooms include a primary suite and junior suite, guest room, plus an oversized bonus room currently set up as a gym. A large great room anchors the interior with the open, easy flow MCM was made for, and additional storage throughout means the function matches the form. Every system has been replaced or upgraded: all-electric heat pump HVAC, updated electrical, plumbing, and a solar array that doesn't just offset your bill. It returns approximately 100 kWh surplus to the grid each month. This home produces more energy than it uses. The 1952 masonry construction delivers thermal mass and architectural integrity no new build can replicate, naturally cooler in summer, warmer in winter, and unmistakably of its era. Step outside to a private pool, mature fruit orchard, entertainer's backyard, and a storm drainage system that means the property performs as beautifully as it looks. Everything you see was chosen. Everything you don't see was replaced. This is Palm Springs at its best.

Taquitz Canyon River Estates, located between South Palm Canyon Drive and the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, is a residential and resort-adjacent Palm Springs neighborhood with mountain views and a wash-side landscape. The neighborhood reads as midcentury-modern streetscapes mixed with Spanish Revival touches, set against the San Jacinto foothills. The character concentrates around the South Palm Canyon Drive corridor near the entrance to Taquitz Canyon, where patios, galleries, and design-forward dining set a polished, walkable rhythm. Community pillars include Moorten Botanical Garden, the Palm Springs Art Museum Architecture and Design Center, and the Plaza Theatre. Hiking energy builds at nearby trailheads, while evenings tilt toward low-lit lounges and courtyard restaurants. The setting feels tucked against the canyon mouth, with palms, rock faces, and desert light shaping daily routines.
