Slip into a Slim Aarons Photograph in the California Desert

Holding a coveted space in the premier 2019 Modernism Tour, this meticulously-restored, 1963-built mid-century modern home in Palm Springs greets visitors with a pink front door that conjures up all the warmth of California’s famous golden hours.

With spectacular views of the San Jacinto Mountains, the Besveca House is located on the sixth fairway of the storied Indian Canyons Golf Resort North Course, designed by architect William F. Bell. The surrounding neighborhood is known for its collection of midcentury architecture.

Shag rugs and stone floors underfoot, the spacious floor plan features a breeze block wall, period-appropriate furniture, and large sliding doors lead out to an expansive backyard with an undulating pool, outdoor seating areas and a fire pit. 

"You just never know who might have danced across these floors," say the owners of their wise decision to keep the original stonework in their immaculate restoration. We’re glad they did – it’s stunning.

To read an interview with the owners, please visit our Journal here.

The Besveca House, named after the first initial of the owners' seven children, was initially constructed in 1963 by builder and developer Harry Kelso. This mid-century modern home in Palm Springs was one of the first to be completed in the Canyon Country Club Estates development, and is believed to be one of the its model homes. In 2017 the house was gut-renovated, mostly adhering to the original floor plan.

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

This property offers self check-in and a fully-equipped kitchen. Perfect for two couples or a small family, enjoy a cocktail by the indoor fireplace or by the pool. Other conveniences are a TV, Wi-Fi and a Bocci Ball court. 

AROUND

Besveca House is 10 minute drive from Palm Springs International Airport, and is located on a wide, palm tree-lined street and five minutes from downtown Palm Springs. When getting out, you’ll be in in close distance to hiking trails, bike paths and golf courses. A clutch of restaurants, the respected Palm Springs Art Museum and Architecture and Design Center, and boutiques selling vintage and furnishings are just minutes away.

Book ahead to get on The Modern Tour, a luxury tour with the option of viewing the stunning, private Frey House II.

LOCATION

Palm Springs, California.

BEST TIME TO VISIT: Palm Springs is a four-seasons destination, but it can get extremely hot in summer months. Architecture lovers flock for its annual Modernism Week, which will be held in October.

    The Guestbook

    See what our community is saying about Besveca House.

    We’ve been so fortunate to stay in some wonderful houses in Palm Springs over the years, but Besveca really is one of the best, maybe even the best we’ve experienced. They’ve blended authentic PS architecture & design, with practical, well designed elements to create a fabulous home. The area is my favourite to stay in & I really felt like I was living the PS dream every time we came back to the house. The outside space that has been created makes you feel like you get four different experiences. The pool area is what you would expect but the four loungers were so comfortable, with umbrellas & each having its own table. It was 5 star hotel attention. In addition to this there is an outdoor sofa & armchairs set off from the pool, another area with seats around a fire pit, and a separate dining area, with a pagoda & a chandelier. This thoughtfulness & experiential planning typifies this house & its design. Two great bedrooms (we only used the master & the bed was so comfortable) & bathrooms & such thoughtful touches throughout, more than I have experienced in other houses I’ve rented. The kitchen was brilliantly equipped not just with equipment but things like a full spice rack, because no-one wants to buy a jar of spices on vacation for 1 tbsp. We felt truly looked after, and that the owners wanted our stay to be wonderful by the way they had taken the time to ensure that the smallest things were thought of (spare toothpaste for example, a lime squeezer), which was reassuring too (and made me think should there be any issues we were in good hands, there were absolutely none though). We had flown in from London, UK for six nights stay before we were due to fly down to Mexico. We seriously considered cancelling our flights & hotel & extending our stay at the house. It was a real wrench to leave. The owner was great from the start of the booking process & throughout & excellent communication from start to finish. We plan to return later this year, which is something I never do as there are so many PS houses to choose from, but its attention to detail throughout with great design that makes it a no brainer to not return.
