Property Description

Designed and built in 1972 by legendary architect S. Charles Lee as his own residence, this home stands as a rare testament to one of America's most influential architectural legacies. Lee (1899-1990) is best known for defining the glamour and modernity of Hollywood's Golden Age, designing more than 400 theaters nationwide--including icons such as the Los Angeles Theatre, Tower Theatre, and Fox Wilshire. In his later years, Lee brought his creative vision to Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley, helping shape the region's desert modern aesthetic.This residence at Tamarisk West remained in the Lee family until 2016 and served as the setting for countless family milestones, intertwining personal history with architectural heritage.Spanning over 3,100 square feet, the home captures the essence of desert modernism--light-filled, sculptural, and deeply connected to its surroundings. Distinctive design elements include Elrod-inspired wall cutouts, original raked stucco finishes, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing panoramic desert views.The flexible floor plan features 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths, a generous media room (easily converted to a 4th bedroom), and a versatile studio with private entrance ideal for guests, creative use, or remote work. The updated kitchen and spa-like primary bath blend modern comfort with original architectural integrity.Set on a private corner lot with an extended driveway and secluded yard, this home offers both privacy and convenience--steps from lush community grounds and direct gate access to Tamarisk Country Club, where golf, tennis, pickleball, and luxury amenities await.One of the largest and most significant homes in Tamarisk West, the S. Charles Lee Residence is more than a property--it's a piece of architectural and cultural history, offering timeless design, low HOA dues, and leased solar for modern efficiency.
