Property Overview

Designed by celebrated desert modernist William F. Cody, this approximately 5,500-square-foot Indian Wells residence offers a rare combination of architectural provenance, documented history and vibrant desert living.

Layered ceiling beams, an original interior planter, a restored bar and expansive indoor-outdoor gathering spaces are complemented by an updated kitchen, an oversized entertaining island and a redesigned primary bath featuring an open wet room and private outdoor bathtub beneath a Cody-inspired pergola.Featured in Palm Springs Life and included in Master of the Midcentury: The Architecture of William F. Cody, the residence also carries a remarkable social history connected to the Bob Hope Desert Classic and generations of desert entertaining.
