THE ABERNATHY HOUSE, 1962, WILLIAM CODY. Exquisite example of the famous mid-century modernist's work. This published estate has a rich and interesting history and offers its new owner an opportunity to enjoy the best Palm Springs has to offer. Described as The Pavillion House, it is built as a series of five interlocking pavillions providing gracious, open, flowing spaces with vaulted ceilings and glass walls. Polished terrazzo floors offer the perfect counterpoint to the pyramid wood ceilings. The flexible floorplan provides for a home office, sitting room and guest suites, one with separate entrance. The master suite enjoys a private spa and extraordinary closet and bath spaces. The gated property provides motorcourt parking for up to 14 automobiles. Neither words nor pictures can do proper justice to this one-of-a-kind home in Old Palm Springs. This is truly a must see for those appreciating the best of livable art.
