Description

A rare offering within the South Palm Desert’s historic Silver Spur Ranch neighborhood. The Paulette Herbert Johnson House is a 1958 architectural study by famed architect Walter S. White, a visionary of desert modernism known for pushing structure, material, and light into seamless dialogue with the landscape.The residence unfolds as a series of clean lines and anchored forms, where terrazzo floors, original wood paneling, and White’s signature masonry walls ground the space in both texture and time. Floor-to-ceiling glass dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, framing views while drawing natural light deep into the home.The interior seamlessly blends original details with modern luxuries, tastefully updated and details reimagined by designers Garret & Garage, introducing a subtle layer of warmth and livability, an approach rooted in materiality and restraint, allowing the architecture to remain the focal point while enhancing the experience and feel of the home. Every element of the home feels considered and refined. Outside, the property shifts into a private resort setting. A pebble-finish pool and spa wrap around architectural breeze-block detail, which anchors the grounds, surrounded by lush landscaping. Enjoy multiple lounge spaces and dining areas, outdoor kitchen, bocce ball court, putting green, and multiple fire features, all oriented toward open sky and mountain views. The expansive lot offers flexibility for future expansion, including the potential for an additional structure.Moments from El Paseo yet quietly removed, this is more than a residence, it is a preserved work of architecture, thoughtfully restored and positioned for its next chapter.
