paul evans bedroom
This bedroom suite is located on the southern end of the home and is anchored by a rare Paul Evans “Cityscape” bed, ca. 1972. This custom king-sized bed features built-in lighting and sheer curtains that can be drawn on three sides. The suite also features a small sitting area, walk-in closet, en-suite bath with dual vanities, roman tub/shower combination and access to the pool patio from the bath or sliding glass doors.
Slim aarons bedroom
The Slim Aarons suite is located at the northern end of the home and features a queen-sized bed, smart TV, and en-suite bath with custom metallic splatter paint treatment, single vanity and shower. A door offers direct access to the pool patio. The suite features a giant print of iconic “Poolside Gossip,” shot in 1970 by Slim Aarons in Palm Springs.
“Jack & Jill” Guest Quarters
The two additional bedrooms are adjacent to the Paul Evans bedroom and each feature queen- sized beds, smart TVs and vintage and custom furnishings chosen to compliment their “Jack and Jill” identities. A common bath between the two bedrooms features dual vanities and step-in tile and glass shower. This bathroom is also accessible from the hallway for houseguest use.
Chef's Kitchen
The St. Charles-inspired kitchen offers plenty of room for cooking and gathering. There is a full suite of modern stainless steel appliances from Thermador, Fisher & Paykel, and Bosch, and is well-stocked with small appliances, pots and pans, and gadgets for cooking just about anything. A selection of carefully curated vintage and contemporary dinnerware, serve ware and glasses by Dansk, Georg Jensen and other artisans compliment the overall interior. A corner dinette is perfect for a quick bite, while the formal dining room seats 10. The dining room is furnished with a Paul Evans table and custom-upholstered Milo Baughman chairs. A stainless steel natural gas grill is located adjacent to the pool.
Pool Party
A large covered patio extends from the house, with comfortable shaded seating looking onto the pool and spa, with the mountains rising from the West. Multiple conversational areas surround the pool, with chaise lounges, outdoor couches and umbrellas providing space for all guests to enjoy the coveted Desert lifestyle. A large freestanding gas fire feature is perfect as dusk falls, bringing light and warmth to the outdoors.
