Welcome to 2695 N. McCarn Road, a beautifully reimagined 1959 Palmer & Krisel-designed Alexander home featuring the iconic and highly sought-after butterfly roofline. Perfectly situated on fee simple land in the heart of historic Racquet Club Estates, this fully renovated mid-century modern masterpiece blends timeless architectural design with the peace of mind of today's modern upgrades. Step outside to your own private resort-style backyard where unobstructed views of Mt. San Jacinto create an unforgettable backdrop. The expansive outdoor space is framed by a newly installed corrugated metal privacy fence and features a sparkling pool, low-maintenance desert landscaping, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living that captures the very best of the Palm Springs lifestyle. This home is truly turnkey, with every renovation professionally completed, city inspected, and fully permitted. Architectural plans, passed inspections, and final municipal approvals are available, allowing buyers to purchase with confidence knowing the work was completed to code. Beyond its stunning design, the home offers more than $100,000 in significant infrastructure improvements. A brand-new high-efficiency HVAC system, newly installed 200-amp electrical panel ready for future solar or EV charging, new luxury vinyl tile flooring throughout the open-concept three-bedroom, two-bath floor plan, and fresh interior and exterior paint mean the costly mechanical updates have already been completed. The result is a rare opportunity to own a thoughtfully restored, structurally sound, and fully permitted piece of Palm Springs architectural history for under $900,000. Architectural plans, permits, and structural approvals will be available for review during private showings. Don't miss your opportunity to own one of Palm Springs' most iconic architectural designs before the fall season begins.
Racquet Club Road Estates Historic District, located between N Indian Canyon Dr and N Palm Canyon Dr, is a historic and residential Palm Springs neighborhood with midcentury modern streetscapes and mountain-view backdrops. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the N Palm Canyon Dr and E Racquet Club Rd corridor, where low-slung signage, resort-era landscaping, and a steady flow of local errands set the tempo. Architectural lines lean toward postwar desert modernism—flat roofs, breeze-block details, and carports framed by palms. Ruth Hardy Park adds lawns and courts that shape daily routines. The Palm Springs Visitor Center (Tramway Gas Station) and the Palm Springs Air Museum anchor the area’s design-and-aviation lore. Desert drives and bikeable blocks connect quickly to Uptown’s galleries and cafes.
Established to provide a variety of low-density housing types and neighborhoods. Development standards are designed to provide protection and enhancement of the natural and urban setting consistent with the goals of the general plan.
