Overview
THE TROUSDALE VILLA: A PRIVATE CHAPTER OF PALM SPRINGS MODERNISM. Hidden within the celebrated Racquet Club Garden Villas, this singular midcentury residence is believed to have been personally chosen and, according to local lore, once occupied by visionary developer Paul Trousdale himself. Designed by William F. Cody and completed in 1960, the villa embodies the rare collaboration of Cody's architectural purity, Trousdale's luxury ethos, and the lush desert landscaping of Phil Shipley and Dudley Trudgett. One of just thirty-seven historic cottages in this Class 1 Historic District, The Trousdale Villa stands entirely alone in its distinction as the only home in the community with its own private pool, surrounded by four patios oriented to the cardinal directions. Morning light spills softly from the east, winter warmth radiates from the south, sunsets ignite the San Jacinto Mountains to the west, and northern shade provides a serene refuge in summer. Inside, Cody's signature post and beam design and walls of glass dissolve the boundary between architecture and landscape, creating a seamless dialogue of openness and tranquility. The interiors preserve their modernist integrity, enhanced by thoughtful updates that merge heritage with contemporary materials and systems refined to honor the home's original spirit. Beyond its private sanctuary, residents enjoy access to the resort-style community pool and spa, water features, and sculpted pathways that meander through towering palms and reflective ponds, hallmarks of the Racquet Club Garden Villas' enduring appeal. Regularly featured in Modernism Week and celebrated in design publications, this enclave remains one of Palm Springs' most admired architectural settings. Eligible for the Mills Act, the property offers potential tax advantages for preservation-minded owners, along with fee simple land ownership and 14-day short-term rental eligibility. Steps from the Uptown Design District, where cafes, galleries, boutiques, and dining pulse with desert sophistication, The Trousdale Villa represents a convergence of history, architecture, and privacy living artifact of Palm Springs modernism and an opportunity rarely found in any era.
