Designed in 1969 by Hugh Kaptur, AIA, and thoughtfully restored in 2025 with his blessing, this exceptional single-level post-and-beam residence reflects the architectural clarity and restraint that define Kaptur's most enduring work. Located on an ultra-private cul-de-sac in the heart of Movie Colony, the home honors its pedigree while presenting with renewed integrity. Clean lines, open-plan interiors, and rhythmic colonnades establish a strong architectural framework, while expansive walls of floor-to-ceiling glass and sliding doors dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Mountain views unfold to the west, with nearly every room opening directly to the landscape. The light-filled living room is a signature moment defined by vaulted, exposed-beam ceilings, warm wood-paneled walls, integrated built-ins, and a substantial fireplace anchoring the space. Clerestory windows and a serene interior atrium further enhance this area's connection to light and nature. The adjacent kitchen is crowned by floating light panels and features Walnut cabinetry, stone countertops, Fisher & Paykel appliance suite, and a pass-through to the dining area reinforcing the home's original modernist flow. All primary living spaces extend to a covered patio overlooking the ultra-private south and west-facing backyard, where Mount San Jacinto views frame a pool and spa, open-air fireplace, and generous lawn creating an elegant extension of the architecture itself. The west-facing Primary Ensuite opens directly outdoors and includes dual sinks, a south-facing walk-in shower with views, and a custom walk-in closet. Junior Ensuite Two opens to the front courtyard and enjoys a private bath with walk-in shower. Bedroom Three offers pool and mountain views, while a hallway powder bath serves guests. Just moments from downtown Palm Springs, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic, architect-restored Kaptur residence in one of the city's most cherished neighborhoods. Ideal for full or seasonal enjoyment as well as those seeking a prominent short-term vacation rental.
