What's special

A landmark Palm Springs estate in the heart of The Movie Colony, considered a crown jewel of mid-century modernism, is available for the first time since earning a Class 1 historic designation. Representing the pinnacle of meticulous preservation, the designation ensures that the William F. Cody-designed home will forever be protected. Its unique, geometric floor plan is among the features that set it apart. With 26-foot-high ceiling peaks finished with sandblasted Douglas fir, expansive glass, terrazzo floors and resort-style outdoor living spaces, the Abernathy home blends luxury with privacy and tranquility against a canvas of desert mountain views. Its undeniable versatility extends to entertaining, thanks to a recently reimagined kitchen finished with design-aligned Poggenpohl cabinetry and Gaggenau appliances. Nothing has been spared in this exquisite William Cody architectural "masterwork."
