DES

des res

informal A shortening of "desirable residence." Primarily heard in UK. They turned a run-down little cottage into a high-end des res in a very up-and-coming part of the country. It's a run-down studio apartment under the train tracks—I wouldn't exactly call it a des res. Well, look at this cute little house! It's quite the des res, and in our price range too!
