Hugh Kaptur AIA, whose career in architecture spans five decades and notable works include the Steve McQueen house, Palm Springs Fire Stations #3 and #4, the Tahquitz Plaza and the William Holden Estate, Covered Wagon Trl is an authentic example of “the quiet elegance” that Kaptur has stated his work aims to represent. Described as “architecturally significant” by Palm Spring’s Modernism Week, this post and beam house is one of the few houses left in the Palm Springs area that has not been “reimagined” by a developer. It is a unique opportunity to own a Hugh Kaptur house that maintains the architect’s original vision, with the restoration completed by noted expert in this field, Chris Salay. One can see the architect’s early influence by Donald Wexler, for whom he briefly worked, the home’s dramatic features include a double sided fireplace, block walls and floor to ceiling windows, with large patios that embrace indoor/outdoor living. The cabinetry, countertops, tile and color details have all been refurbished where intact and restored if not original, while kitchen and bath fixtures have been updated to Bertazonni, Hansgrohe and Dornbracht. The spacious master suite has a large walk in closet and en suite bathroom with a private lanai. The pool has been replastered with pebbletec and retiled, while the cabana has been restored with an outdoor powder room added. Other amenities include a solar system that has been paid in full (worth in excess of $100,000), cameras and alarm system and an EV charger. Situated on a massive 13,000 sq ft lot on a quiet cul de sac, this house is ideally located in coveted South Palm Desert, walking distance to El Paseo shopping district.
