About this property
Discover the Paulette Johnson residence, one of the last homes designed by modernist architect Walter S White, designer, builder, and developer of a number of desert homes across the Coachella Valley from the late 1940s until about 1960.
73271 Buckboard Trail demonstrates White's use of typically strong lines and open, but defined spaces. Hidden steel columns support expanses of glass in the main living area and primary bedroom.
The structure incorporates brick, concrete and walls of glass in its design to create indoor-outdoor living spaces, and interior clerestory windows provide spaciousness and light throughout. A raised concrete platform encircles the home. A long interior block wall runs from the bedrooms past the entrance, turns into the living room, and continues outdoors and past the patio where it meets another wall of pierced concrete block. There is a shallow sunning pool next to the primary bedroom, which has been converted to a fountain. The side yard incorporates a bocce ball court, while the backyard has a cabana near a putting green. A lap pool runs the length of the house.
It offers 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, a large open living and dining surrounded by a wall of glass overlooking the pool, a kitchen with modern features and sits on an extra large 1/3 acre lot. Key features of the house are the low hipped stretched roof with wall of glass to the exterior. The areas are delineated by a back wall that creates the interior as well as exterior spaces.
