Claudine Zap, who writes about a wide array of topics, including home, entertainment, travel, food, art, and culture, takes a look at the Boat House, located in the gated Southbridge community in Palm Springs, in this realtor.com article.
The 3,906 square foot property, with 4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, a retractable roof in the mezzanine-level master suite, 24-foot-high ceilings, open spaces for entertaining, multiple decks and an infinity pool, was originally designed by Arizona-based architect Michael P. Johnson for race car driver Jim Jeffords. The name comes from the fact that the home’s sleek lines end at a point, much like a ship’s bow; an ingenious solution to the odd-size, triangle-shaped lot. Also, because the home is angled, it gives a sense of movement across the valley floor, emerging from the hillside.
The home was listed earlier this year at $4,495,000. Since then, it was taken over by Lloyds Bank in May and is now priced at $1,950,000.
