Description
From its beginnings in 1959 as a classic Alexander home designed by Palmer & Krisel, through a comprehensive renovation in 2012, to its remarkable transformation into a sophisticated desert retreat today, this striking butterfly-roof residence tells a story of architectural integrity and thoughtful evolution. With approximately $365,000 in recent improvements, the home beautifully balances its mid-century pedigree with the comforts, technology, and effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle that define contemporary Palm Springs living. Authentic architectural details include exposed beams, tongue-and-groove ceilings, clerestory windows, polished concrete floors, and expansive Fleetwood sliding glass doors that frame dramatic western views of the San Jacinto Mountains. The 2012 down-to-the-studs renovation included updated electrical, plumbing, kitchen, and bathrooms, establishing a foundation for modern living. The home's refined, understated aesthetic honors its modernist roots without relying on nostalgic retro styling. The result is timeless rather than themed, with an appeal that extends well beyond the traditional mid-century enthusiast. Outside, a spectacular private oasis invites relaxation and entertaining on an entirely different level. A new saltwater pool with Roman steps, fully tiled zero-edge spa with Baja shelf, and sunken fire pit with integrated lighting create an extraordinary setting beneath the desert sky. A covered outdoor kitchen features a built-in smoker BBQ, wine refrigerator, sink, and exhaust fan. Architectural breeze block walls, custom hammered-glass gates, updated landscaping, and thoughtfully designed lighting enhance the setting, while an immersive outdoor sound system provides the perfect soundtrack for desert living. Inside, premium Samsung OLED televisions and integrated Sonos audio complement updated kitchen and laundry appliances, two tankless water heaters, and refreshed bathroom fixtures. Solar panels, two Tesla Powerwalls, a 40-amp EV charging receptacle, and Nest cameras bring modern convenience and technology to this architectural classic. Situated on approximately a quarter-acre of fee simple land with no HOA, the property also features an enclosed two-car garage, thoughtfully converted from the original carport and preserved for convenient, protected parking. From leisurely mornings beside the pool to cocktails around the fire as the mountains glow at sunset, this is quintessential Palm Springs living: an authentic architectural original, beautifully evolved for today.
