The house
If you picture a Palm Springs mid-century house, you are probably picturing something close to this one: a 1959 home by architect William Krisel, built by the Alexander Construction Company, with the butterfly roof that Krisel and the Alexanders made a signature of desert tract housing.
The listing describes three bedrooms, two and a half baths and 2,748 square feet on about a quarter acre of fee-simple land, inside a gated community with no HOA. The butterfly roof, Fleetwood sliding glass doors, clerestory windows and polished concrete floors are the details that matter most to mid-century buyers. The two-car enclosed garage is listed as intact. The house was redesigned in 2022, and the agent says it has been owner-occupied and was never a short-term rental.
The backyard
Out back is a saltwater pool and spa with new equipment, heater and LED lighting, plus a sunken fire pit and a full outdoor kitchen. The listing mentions drought-tolerant landscaping, key lime and lemon trees, and mountain views.
The upgrades
The listing also lists solar, two Tesla Powerwalls, EV charging, a tankless water heater, Nest cameras and a Sonos sound system.
The price and the agent
The pre-market asking price is $1,249,000. The listing agent is Bob Deck, REALTOR®, Town Real Estate, CalDRE 02045820.
