1954 William Cody - Mid‑Century Movie Colony Gem: Pool, Spa & Atrium

Step inside this iconic 1954 William Cody residence and experience the essence of Palm Springs living in the coveted Movie Colony neighborhood. This architecturally significant post‑and‑beam home is a true mid‑century modern gem, showcasing Cody's signature elements - clerestory walls of glass, a steel‑framed indoor atrium, a floating fireplace, and a classic sunken conversation pit.

Featured in Palm Springs Life, the home captures everything guests love about a Palm Springs vacation rental: dramatic mountain views, seamless indoor‑outdoor flow, and a private pool and spa that create a resort‑style desert escape.

The moment you enter, the soaring atrium sets the tone. Two towering palm trees rise through a four‑sided glass enclosure and extend through the open roofline into the bright desert sky. It feels like a living sculpture - a striking blend of nature and architecture that instantly immerses you in the magic of the desert.

The sunken living room, anchored by its iconic hanging fireplace, invites long conversations, shared stories, and relaxed evenings with a glass of wine. Just beyond, the fully equipped kitchen offers everything you need to prepare anything from quick poolside bites to a full gourmet dinner, with plenty of serving pieces for effortless entertaining indoors or outside.

A cozy den provides a comfortable spot for movie nights, complete with cable TV, a large DVD collection, and a desk with a computer monitor for those who may need to stay connected during their stay in sunny Palm Springs.

The home's three bedrooms offer a thoughtful mix of comfort and privacy. The Primary Suite features a king bed, ceiling fan, en‑suite bathroom, and direct access to the pool deck. A guest room on the opposite side of the home includes a queen bed and pool access, while the third bedroom offers a king bed and a large picture window framing the desert landscape. The guest rooms share a hallway bathroom, making the layout ideal for families or groups.

Outdoors, the expansive lot delivers the kind of resort‑style living Palm Springs is known for. A newly redone private pool and spa take center stage, surrounded by four chaise lounges, two umbrellas, and lush desert landscaping. Enjoy al fresco dining under the covered patio, and choose between a propane grill or a classic charcoal Weber for your outdoor cooking.

Located minutes from Downtown Palm Springs, restaurants, shops, and hiking trails, this home offers the perfect blend of architectural significance, modern comfort, and desert serenity. Professionally managed by Poolside Vacation Rentals, guests enjoy high‑touch hospitality, local expertise, and a seamless vacation experience from arrival to departure.

This is your opportunity to stay in a true mid‑century modern masterpiece - a timeless Palm Springs oasis designed for relaxation, connection, and unforgettable memories.
