Home of the Week: The indoor-outdoor experience in Rancho Mirage
In Thunderbird Heights, a gated enclave in Rancho Mirage, this Midcentury Modern home epitomizes the casual desert lifestyle of the Coachella Valley with a U-shaped design that surrounds a swimming pool.
Recently refreshed with designer details, the polished single-story is anchored by a great room bordered by walls of windows that bring in views from opposite directions. Ample patio space, which can be accessed from every room, expands the living space to the outdoors.
