''A true icon of Palm Springs modernist architecture''
This exceptional Palmer & Krisel-designed residence was built by the Alexander Construction Company in 1959 and is ideally situated in the iconic Racquet Club Estates. Thoughtfully expanded to include a private casita and a home office, this home offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, seamlessly pairing its celebrated architectural pedigree with refined, contemporary living. From the moment of arrival, the residence makes a striking impression. Classic stucco and stone front, mature landscaping, and the clean, beautifully proportioned lines characteristic of Alexander design create an unmistakable sense of place. Inside, walls of glass sliders dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, filling the interiors with warm desert light and creating an intimate connection to the surrounding landscape. Extensively updated with a thoughtful eye toward both original design and everyday comfort, the home begins with a brand-new roof and continues with improvements throughout. The refreshed kitchen features new cabinetry, countertops, sink, refrigerator, range, and hood. Both primary and secondary bathrooms have been completely renovated with new flooring, walls, plumbing, fixtures, glass shower doors, and toilets. The private casita, complete with a new mini-split system, offers a comfortable and secluded retreat for guests. Outside, a spectacular south- and west-facing saltwater pool takes center stage, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping views of the San Jacinto Mountains. Lush landscaping surrounds the pool, creating an inviting oasis for both quiet relaxation and entertaining. New landscape and pathway lighting extend the experience into the evening, while a new pool heater, pump, and saltwater cell add comfort and efficiency. Additional improvements include tankless water-heating system, sprinkler controls, a water pressure regulator, a separate washer and dryer room, four exterior hose bibs, and a two-car garage. With its iconic flagstone exterior, sun-drenched desert palette, sophisticated modern updates, and seamless indoor-outdoor living, this home captures the very best of Palm Springs style--a timeless architectural original beautifully reimagined for the way we live today.
