Joplin House

Welcome to Joplin House on Janis Street, a refined hillside retreat in Palm Springs’ coveted Little Tuscany neighborhood. This 1961 residence rests along a scenic desert rise, where sweeping mountain silhouettes meet shimmering city lights below. Designed as a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom estate across a half-acre setting, the home embodies a rare blend of mid-century character and modern, designer-led renovation. From sunrise to starlit evenings, the atmosphere is both cinematic and deeply serene, inviting you to slow down and take in the desert in its most beautiful form.

Inside, the home unfolds through a series of elegant, light-filled living spaces designed for both privacy and connection. Three distinct kitchens and multiple living rooms allow the residence to function as a private resort, where each space feels intentional and inviting. The main great room opens to dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass framing palm-lined views and the city beyond. A seamless flow connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, where a chef’s kitchen, expansive island seating, and refined designer finishes create a natural gathering point. Upstairs, the primary suite becomes a quiet escape with a spa-like bath, soaking tub, and direct access to a view terrace made for slow mornings and golden-hour unwinding.

Across the property, additional living areas extend the experience of the home into something more expansive and versatile. A lower-level retreat opens directly to the pool terrace, complete with its own kitchen, fireplace, and private bedroom suite—ideal for extended stays or hosting with ease. The separate guest house offers its own complete living environment, creating a sense of independence while remaining connected to the estate. Whether it’s cozying up by the fire, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or gathering for an evening in, every corner is designed to elevate everyday moments into something memorable.

Outdoors, the desert lifestyle comes fully to life. A sparkling saltwater pool and integrated spa form the heart of the yard, surrounded by sun-drenched chaise lounges, daybeds, and shaded conversation spaces. Alfresco dining for ten sets the stage for long, unhurried meals under open skies, while a dedicated firepit lounge invites evenings spent under a canopy of stars. Mature trees, privacy hedging, and unobstructed mountain views create a rare sense of seclusion, all while embracing the beauty of the surrounding desert landscape.

Perfectly positioned just minutes from the Uptown Design District and vibrant Downtown Palm Springs, the home offers effortless access to acclaimed restaurants, boutique shopping, the Palm Springs Art Museum, and iconic desert hikes through Indian and Tahquitz Canyons. World-class golf, tennis, and cultural destinations are all within easy reach, along with a direct route to El Paseo in Palm Desert and seasonal events across the Coachella Valley. For those in the know, an early evening stroll through Uptown followed by dinner under the desert sky captures the essence of life here—relaxed, refined, and unmistakably Palm Springs.
