A Harmonious Fusion of Culture & Craft

A celebration of architecture, culture, and calm, Casbah Cove blends timeless design with modern indulgence. A private desert retreat crafted for inspired living.

Ensconced by the scenic green fairways of the prestigious BIGHORN Golf Club in Palm Desert, Casbah Cove is a magnificent 5-bedroom, 7-bath, Moroccan-style masterpiece that fuses desert serenity with modern luxury and global sophistication. Tranquil desert, mountain, city, and golf course views meet timeless design and complete privacy, resulting in the paradisal oasis that graces this issue’s cover. The attention to detail is peerless. Upon entering the palatial home, the various hand-crafted finishes and rich textures surround you.

“The moment you walk through the door, you feel an instant sense of calm,” says Karista Smith, Coldwell Banker Realty co-listing agent.

At the heart of the estate lies a lavish, open-air courtyard brimming with ornate details and lush greenery, complete with a retract- able glass ceiling, perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining.

“Every space reveals thoughtful design and artistry, making it feel as though you’re living inside a piece of art,” Smith adds.

Four expansive, en suite bedrooms, a versatile bonus room, detached guesthouse, and a private elevator promise convenience and privacy. Additional highlights include a stunning gourmet chef’s kitchen, a custom wine cellar, a serene fireplace spa, and truly breathtaking living spaces that exude character and luxury.

“This home isn’t just something you see — it’s something you feel,” says Smith.

The grandeur continues outside with lush palm trees speckling the grounds. Outdoor highlights include two sparkling swimming pools — including a 75-foot lap pool and a circular lounging pool — plus two spas, tranquil water features and a spa-like steam shower — all surrounded by remarkable views of the sparkling city lights and mountains.

According to Smith, “the views are nothing short of breathtaking.”

This illustrious property boasts unique details and luxurious amenities at every turn.

“Casbah Cove holds a kind of magic that is hard to put into words,”
remarks Jade Mills, co-listing agent. “The moment you step inside, you feel transported — surrounded by warmth, beauty and soul. Every curve, every tile, every beam of light feels intentional, like the home itself is telling a story. It is a place that captures your heart the moment you see it.”

Experience the ultimate blend of classic and contemporary in this lavish West Cambridge estate.

Tucked away on one of West Cambridge’s most distinguished streets, just moments from the cultural and academic heart of Harvard Square and the scenic beauty
of the Charles River, 55 Fayerweather Street is a residence of rare distinction. The exceptional 7-bedroom estate on our cover is the product of the award-winning Boston-based design firm, Stern McCafferty, showcasing a contemporary art gallery aesthetic fused with the timeless elegance of a 19th- century Georgian Revival estate. Originally constructed in 1905, the stately brick façade now meets a bold Cor-Ten steel addition of warm and earthy tones, serving as the perfect complement. Inside, the interiors achieve a pristine balance between historic elegance and modern minimalism.

“Beautifully renovated to an exceptional standard, this timeless family home offers a perfect blend of elegance, sophistication, and simplicity,” says Gail Roberts, listing agent. “The goal was to make a practical house for a family of six, one that would be simple and modern enough to showcase their art,” says designer Stern McCafferty. “The rooms were streamlined and brightened with a neutral palette and contemporary architectural details such as glass balustrades.”

The most dramatic upgrade to the home was the 2-story addition, which houses the gourmet kitchen with stone countertops and Bulthaup custom cabinetry, a breakfast room, and family area on the ground floor, and the master suite on the upper level.

“A stunning mix of traditional New England charm with a contemporary flair, the home’s centerpiece is the grand foyer staircase, which gracefully opens to a mezzanine art gallery above — a favorite feature that sets the tone for the home’s refined yet inviting character,” says Roberts. “There is quiet drama and enduring style.”

An artfully landscaped sanctuary envelops the home. Verdant gardens, a vine-draped pergola, and serene patios are designed for quiet reflection as well
as lively entertaining. A multi-purpose sport court offers recreational versatility in a private, beautifully green setting. The 2-story addition boasts a Cor-Ten steel exterior, inspired by the owners’ collection of Donald Judd works in the same material. The material changes color over time due to exposure to the elements, adding a sense of ever-changing character.

Every element of this property, listed by Gail Roberts and Ed Feijo (Gail Roberts, Ed Feijo & Team) has been carefully conceived with an eye for design integrity, practicality, and sophistication, making 55 Fayerweather Street a truly one-of-a-kind offering.
Priced at $18,000,000.
