About this property

Live More! - Rare Wexler designed Sunmor Retreat!

CITY ID#:003419

The Sunmor neighborhood has the highest concentration of Alexander and other architecturally significant midcentury modern homes built between 1955 and 1961. The original developer, Robert "Bob" Higgins, built the first 11 homes; all designed by the iconic Palm Springs architecture team of Donald Wexler & Richard Harrison. Live More! was one of those homes built in 1955.

This 3 bed, 2 bath home is the perfect getaway for family or friends. Thoughtfully renovated and beautifully furnished, the house features a modern open floor plan, gleaming porcelain floors, original open-beam and tongue and groove ceiling and a smart update for today – the kitchen open to the large living space. Two separate seating areas give you plenty of space to relax looking out the wall of glass to the pool or enjoying what’s on the 50” Smart TV. The dining area features a modern table that seats 8.

The kitchen includes quartz countertops, white lacquer cabinetry and serviced by stainless steel appliances. There is also a breakfast bar with counter seating – perfect for keeping the cook company or working on your laptop should you need to check in with the office.

The fenced and private desert landscaped yard has stunning mountain views. The 14’ x 28’ pool has all-day long sun exposure and the spa sits above the pool with spillover waterfall and great views of the San Jacinto mountains. And in season, you’ll enjoy an abundance of citrus to make the perfect cocktail.

The spacious primary bedroom has a king-sized bed and 50" smart TV. There is a large ensuite with dual sinks, large walk-in shower with 10” rain shower head and clerestory window that allows for palm tree views and tons of natural light. This bedroom also has a walk-in closet.

Across the hall you’ll find two guest bedrooms. The first has a queen bed, large closet and a 40” TV. The second guest bedroom has two standard twin beds, a large closet and 32” TV. Both bedrooms have sliding glass door access to the pool. The bedrooms share a large guest bathroom with a wide double sink vanity and frameless-glass step-in shower.

Live More! is in a beautiful midcentury neighborhood, a great central Palm Springs location, and just a few minutes’ drive to shopping, golf courses and downtown.

3 Month Stay at "Live More"
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent three months at "Live More," located in the Sunmor neighborhood of Palm Springs. In short, it's a great 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house in a quiet, lovely, residential neighborhood. In addition, the back yard features excellent views of the mountains. The house is clean, orderly, and comfortable, and the management company was attentive to any and all questions. Photos of the house are accurate, by the way.

Mid century Dream!
Probably my favorite tiny neighborhood of mid century places in Palm Springs. Easy to get to everything. Pool is great, hot tub is great. Yard is huge. The interior is perfect, wish my house was decorated as thoughtfully and as nice! The rule of thumb for a VRBO: I would I live there and Yes I would!
