2211 N. Starr Road, Palm Springs

This beautiful Meiselman residence is located in the historic Racquet Club Estates neighborhood of Palm Springs. This expanded Meiselman-designed residence sits on an approximately quarter-acre lot and encompasses roughly 1,800 square feet of living space.

The home’s most distinctive architectural feature is a dramatic south-facing wall of glass along the main living area, a design choice characteristic of Meiselman’s commitment to integrating interior spaces with the desert landscape. The wall frames views of the kidney-shaped pool and mature palms, reinforcing the indoor-outdoor continuity central to Desert Modernism. An original fireplace anchors the living room and remains intact, preserving the home’s mid-century character. The primary suite retains its vintage tiled bath and walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms complete the sleeping quarters. An expanded great room with an open kitchen layout reflects a later modification to the original floor plan. The property includes documentation for a proposed full remodel, including custom architectural plans.

Recorded infrastructure updates include copper plumbing, an HVAC system, replacement of the pool heater, and pool resurfacing, all completed in 2022. The mature palm plantings on the lot are consistent with the period landscaping aesthetic common to Racquet Club Estates properties of this era. This property was listed for sale at $899,000 in January 2026.

Neighborhood

Tucked just north of downtown, Racquet Club Estates is one of Palm Springs’ most iconic midcentury modern neighborhoods—a place where clean lines, butterfly roofs, and indoor-outdoor living come together in perfect harmony. Originally developed in the late 1950s and early 1960s, many of these homes were built by Jack Meiselman and designed to celebrate the desert lifestyle, with open floor plans, walls of glass, and seamless connections to pools and patios framed by mountain views. Today, the neighborhood remains a vibrant showcase of authentic MCM architecture, where preservation and thoughtful restoration continue to honor its original vision.
