In 1935, a then-unknown architect, Albert Frey, dropped three boxes in the California desert as a study in simplicity and minimalism. Nearly a century later, The Guthrie House was reimagined with Frey's vision in mind. Set behind a gated entrance with an expansive driveway, this private Palm Springs oasis blends architectural distinction with modern comfort. In 2019, the home was fully renovated with entirely new systems. The extensive renovation included structural upgrades, plumbing, electrical, pool, stucco, drywall, roof, energy-efficient doors and windows, HVAC, and more. Additional enhancements include a detached pool house, outdoor bar and barbecue, four in-ground gas fire pits, and a custom indoor doggie shower. The result: 'a chic zen-like retreat wreathed by staggering mountain views,' says the Los Angeles Times. With a legacy spanning media publications, fashion campaigns, and architectural photo shoots, The Guthrie House is more than a residence, it is a rare chance to own a piece of desert​​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​​​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​‌​ modernism.
