Iconic mid-century architecture. Spectacular mountain views. Historic distinction. Welcome to Sandcliff! Located within a designated Palm Springs Historic District, Sandcliff was recently added to the National Register of Historic Places, becoming the first multi-family development in Palm Springs to receive this recognition. This beautifully maintained home has been thoughtfully updated for desert modern living. Designed by architect Sherwin L. Barton and celebrated for its signature pinwheel layout, decorative concrete screen block, and walls of glass, Sandcliff represents one of Palm Springs' most architecturally significant mid-century garden apartment communities. This residence honors that legacy while incorporating meaningful modern enhancements. Sandcliff currently participates in The Mills Act, offering potential property tax advantages for eligible owners (subject to regulatory approval). Expansive living and dining areas open to private patios with impressive mountain views, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Motorized roller shades throughout provide everyday convenience while preserving clean architectural lines. Dual-pane tempered glass upgrades in the living and dining areas enhance comfort and efficiency. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with updated fixtures and an interior laundry room a rare amenity in many mid-century communities adds everyday practicality. The original poured terrazzo primary patio has been enhanced with new drip irrigation lines, curated cactus and succulent plantings, landscape lighting on dusk-to-dawn timers, and a custom wrought iron gate, creating an inviting outdoor retreat. A convenient car port and private storage unit are located directly adjacent to the residence. Two heated pools and spas, walkable access to nearby shopping and dining, and breathtaking mountain views complete the experience. Experience Sandcliff: Authentic architecture. Thoughtful updates. Historic pedigree - the quintessential Palm Springs lifestyle as it was meant to be.
