THE EYE MUST TRAVEL! Where Southern California's tallest peaks meet the first fairway and second tee box at Marrakesh Country Club, this inspired home near the clubhouse offers a setting as stunning as the views. With 180 degrees of fairway vistas, this location is truly one of the most picturesque in the desert. The home's designer took cues from the refined elegance of 20th-century New York apartments, blending that vision with architect John Elgin Woolf's signature Hollywood Regency style and that of the home's first interior designer, Tony Duquette. The result is both unique and enduring with its harmonious blend of color from room to room. There are three bedrooms, three bathrooms, plus a dedicated office. An elegant mansard roofline and tall Pullman doors introduce the architectural story. Orchid trees frame the courtyard, where ceramic tiles extend through much of the interior and onto both terraces. Gallery-inspired lighting enhances the living room, which features a limestone fireplace and custom bookshelves. The formal dining room opens to one of several outdoor conversation areas and showcases expansive views. The eat-in kitchen is filled with natural light and features a Bertazzoni professional dual fuel range, Sub-Zero wine cooler, walk-in pantry, and direct access to a private hedged terrace for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The Primary Suite offers terrace access, a spacious dressing area, dual vanities, an oversized soaking tub, and a separate shower. Guest Bedroom Two opens to the courtyard and includes an ensuite bath with a separate tub and shower. A nearby office with built-in cabinetry and French doors leads to a serene atrium. Guest Bedroom Three, currently enjoyed as a den, is located on the south side of the home with a nearby bath. Marrakesh Country Club has welcomed homeowners since 1969. Today, it remains one of the desert's most architecturally significant and cherished communities. With just 364 homes, the club maintains an intimate atmosphere with an iconic design pedigree. A recent feature in Town and Country Magazine offers a wonderful glimpse into the charm and character that set Marrakesh apart including the newly renovated club house. Explore the Matterport Virtual Tour to experience the flow and feel of this exceptional home.
