Palm Springs history and modern understated elegance come together in one of the finest homes in highly desirable neighborhood of Deepwell Estates in Palm Springs. The “James M. Hollowell Residence,'“ an exemplary mid-century home that offers a redesigned idyllic and luxurious getaway.
Built in 1965 by noted architect Stan Sackley AIA for James M. Hollowell, a prominent Palm Springs attorney, the home served as his “playboy bachelor pad” and was even featured in the April 1966 issue of Playboy magazine. Five decades on, the home has undergone a dramatic down-to-the-studs renovation which took one year to complete, resulting in a one-of-a-kind property that pays homage to the past, whilst showcasing a brilliant combination of an intimate and inviting interior, state-of-the-art finishes, light filled spaces, and minimal boundaries between the inside and out.
The home’s original clean lines and open space concept was reworked by revered interior designer Sam Cardella with the goal to maintain the authentic floor plan and architectural details, but in a new format that visually connects spaces for living, relaxing and entertaining. Cardella incorporated many elements reminiscent to Sackley’s design, reintroducing three wood species; Cedar, Zebrano and Afromosia in vertical-ridged paneling that referenced the home’s alluring past and resulting in a warm, rich and calm earthiness to the property.
The home showcases dramatic floor-to-ceiling doors that allow you to relax and entertain in light-filled areas and features a breathtaking custom wood paneled fireplace that separates the master suite from the living space. The stunning renovated gourmet kitchen sits perfectly with the home’s sophisticated vibe, offering up-to-date modern convenience and top-of-the-line appliances. Its open layout takes full advantage of the pool and garden views and flows easily out to the alfresco areas.
