About this property

Luxe Modern Architectural Gem with Dramatic Colonnade Entrance, Designer Owner

  • Located in the stunning, highly desired, and walkable Indian Canyons neighborhood in South Palm Springs.

    Welcome to Casa Di Vetro ("The Glass House"), a unique designer-owner remodeled California Modern architectural home that was featured in the prestigious Signature Home Tour by Palm Springs Modernism Week in 2020, and also included in the tours in 2021-2024! Featured in several books and magazines including "Canyon Country Club: History and Design of Palm Springs' Garden of Eden" (Treinen, 2025), "Palm Springs Weekend" by Hess and Danish, this stylish gem stands proud on the famed Indian Canyons Golf Resort. The distinctive long colonnade entrance leads past gorgeous desert landscaping to the iconic, oversized, Palm Springs yellow doors. Inside this amazing home, you'll find an open-concept floor plan, with 14 ft. walls of glass, spacious interiors, white porcelain-tiled floors, extensive accent lighting, and fine minimalist modern furnishings and decor throughout. With over a dozen sliding glass doors, clerestory windows and multiple viewing decks and patios, there's no end in sight of the breathtaking surrounding mountains!

    Relax in the private salt water pool, soothe your muscles in the extra-large jetted spa, or take some sun in the submerged Baja tanning deck. At the end of the day, gather with your friends around one of the two gas fire pits under the stars. This resort-style home is a great match for guests with high standards, seeking the true Palm Springs lifestyle.

    The interior designer-owner of this home has completely remodeled and updated it in a Modern Italian International style, with luxurious desert indoor/outdoor living in mind. It features 3 large bedrooms with 3 full baths (2 ensuite), a glamorous powder room, spacious professional-grade kitchen, private dining room, with vintage chandeliers and original modern artwork throughout. You will love the open feel that this unique architectural home provides while still offering privacy. Each of the two large principal suites has the feel of a luxury hotel. Both offer direct access to the outside patio or pool. The third bedroom features 2 queen-size beds.

    Step outside through sliding glass walls to take full advantage of the indoor/outdoor Palm Springs lifestyle. Slip au naturel into the private sparkling salt water pool to cool off... or lose yourself in a book under the shade of an umbrella on one of many chaise lounges. It will be hard not to relax as you take in the fresh desert air and become mesmerized by our plentiful, breathtaking mountain views!

    The house is located in the desirable and typically wind-free south end of Palm Springs in the heart of the prestigious Indian Canyons neighborhood. You will enjoy fabulous and private resort-like accommodations with a large pool deck, private outdoor shower, 9 chaise lounge chairs, On the back patio, recline on cushy sectional seating around the gas fire pit with endless views of the green golf course, while sipping a refreshing beverage and admiring the sunset behind the San Jacinto Mountains. Then, enjoy a fabulous dinner prepared al fresco at the well-equipped stainless steel outdoor kitchen and one of our 2 patio dining tables, each with seating for 6.

    Once the sun is down and the sky starts to darken, the real drama of this unique home begins... The pool illuminates, turning the water into a gorgeous deep blue hue. Together with the expansive intersecting panels of glass, the pool cleverly reflects the architectural design of the house and surrounding mountains with breathtaking beauty! Extensive landscape lighting will also showcase the gardens and palm trees, creating an intimate ambience for you to enjoy.

    On the interior, the unique split bi-level main living room in the core of the house features a pool-level cocktail area with a fully-equipped wet bar with ice maker, mini-fridge, wine cellar, and plenty of glassware, as well as a raised seating area/home theater by the fireplace with incredible panoramic views to the majestic mountains and clear blue skies beyond.

    A spacious modern kitchen frames yet another stunning view of the golf course and mountains, and features a large prep island, quartz countertops, two sinks, and Thermador professional appliances including two dishwashers, a 5-burner gas cooktop with griddle, double convection ovens, microwave, a built-in coffee/espresso maker, as well as an eat-in breakfast area with a 42” HDTV. The kitchen is fully-equipped with a wide variety of high-end cookware, numerous utensils, and small appliances that would make any chef happy. If cooking is part of what you enjoy during your down time, you're in for a very special treat you will not find in most any other vacation rental property.

    The house features extensive technology and home automation throughout. The Crestron, Sonos and Apple TV home entertainment system provides an easy way to enjoy your streaming music and video with high fidelity speakers throughout the house. The home theater set up in the living room features a 75" 4K Ultra-HDTV and full Dolby Digital surround system with 7 speakers and 4 subwoofers. All the windows are covered with remote controlled retractable shades for privacy.

    The main Primary Bedroom Suite is spacious and bright, with a balcony leading directly to the pool and spa. This bedroom features a King-size bed, large screen HDTV, full Dolby Digital surround sound system, and Blue Ray/DVD player. The huge en-suite master bathroom features a large double shower for two with amazing mountain views and sparkling modern glass tiles. A secondary hygienic mini-shower is located within the toilet/water closet area, as well as a washlet toilet.

    The Secondary Bedroom Suite is located in the central part of the house with western-facing mountain views. This suite features a King-size bed, a large HDTV, and private ensuite full bathroom with skylight. A sliding glass door leads to the side and back patio.

    The third Guest Bedroom is secluded at the end of the hallway on the west wing of the house for additional privacy. The large room features two Queen-size beds, an HDTV, and an adjacent full bathroom. With no exterior access, this room has a window with a mountain view, and is nearby a slider to the pool patio.

    The house is conveniently located just a short 10 minute drive to downtown Palm Springs with all of its excellent restaurants, shopping, art galleries and nightlife.

    You will find this to be one of the finest homes for your luxury vacation available in the desert!
