685 N Farrell Drive, A Polished Gem

This impeccably designed 1,360-square-foot residence at 685 N Farrell Drive represents Jack Meiselman’s midcentury modern vision at its finest. Built in 1960, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom home showcases stunning design elements that honor the period while offering contemporary sophistication. Polished concrete floors flow throughout the open floor plan, while sandblasted wood-beamed ceilings add warmth and textural interest overhead. Glass sliders open seamlessly to create the perfect indoor-outdoor living experience, dissolving the boundaries between interior comfort and desert landscape.
The home sits on an oversized 10,459-square-foot lot, offering exceptional outdoor living spaces. A large sparkling pool provides the centerpiece for relaxation and entertainment, framed by dramatic San Jacinto mountain views that create an unforgettable backdrop. Privacy is ensured by 10-foot hedges that surround the property, creating an intimate oasis within the desert. The expansive backyard has been thoughtfully designed with multiple zones for enjoyment, including a daybed, various lounging spots, outdoor dining area, hammock, fire pit, and BBQ—truly an entertainer’s paradise.
The property underwent a complete restoration in 2019, transforming it into a beautiful example of Meiselman’s architectural legacy. Today, it stands turnkey furnished and rental-ready, with a solid rental history and happy clients, making it an ideal investment property or second home with income-generating potential.
