Set against the dramatic San Jacinto Mountains, 803 North High Road is a quintessential Alexander-built residence in Vista Las Palmas, one of Palm Springs most coveted architectural enclaves. Thoughtfully restored and extensively modernized, the home honors the enduring principles of desert modernism while offering the comfort and sophistication of contemporary living. A striking low-slung silhouette gives way to soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, clerestory windows, and walls of glass that blur the distinction between indoors and out. Terrazzo flooring, a sculptural stone fireplace, and a refined material palette complement the home's architectural character, while natural light and extraordinary mountain views define the open living and dining spaces. The thoughtfully appointed kitchen features Caesarstone surfaces, a Viking range, and Sub-Zero refrigeration. Three generous bedrooms and two elegantly finished baths provide serene private accommodations. Beyond the glass, secluded resort-style grounds unfold beneath towering palms and a breathtaking mountain backdrop. A sparkling pool and spa are complemented by mature landscaping, multiple outdoor lounge and dining areas, two gas fire pits, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, refrigerator, and sink. An expanded misting system completes an exceptional setting for entertaining beneath the desert sky. Significant capital improvements reflect a commitment to architectural preservation and long-term performance, including a new roof, 36-panel solar system with three Tesla Powerwall batteries providing 40.5 kWh of storage, a replaced living-area heat pump, updated sewer lines with accessible cleanouts, enhanced drainage infrastructure, and upgraded pool equipment. Additional enhancements include a remodeled hall bath, updated kitchen finishes, new flooring and baseboards, Lutron smart lighting, security cameras, and refreshed interior and exterior finishes. Moments from downtown Palm Springs, this exceptional Alexander residence offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, and modern infrastructure in the heart of Vista Las Palmas. Equally compelling as a primary residence, private desert retreat, or investment opportunity, the property is eligible for short-term vacation rentals, subject to applicable City permitting and operating requirements.
