Palm Springs in California, also known as “Hollywood’s Desert Playground,” has long been known for its cool architecture and glamorous social scene. Bing Crosby and Zsa Zsa Gabor both called the area home for a time, while others like JFK and Elvis merely visited. And, you can be next. Recently, a suave house currently functioning as a vacation rental listed. Asking $1,399,000, the circa-1958 home is the quintessence of midcentury Palm Springs style.
Many of the homes in the area exude a similar vibe, but this gem was designed by the renowned Palmer & Krisel Architects, AIA. The spot was brought to life by Alexander Construction Company, and is being offered fully-furnished. As the colder months close in, buying a desert-climate retreat that’s completely move-in-ready may sound pretty enticing.
Entering into the home, one is greeted by a vast open living room that provides more than enough space for hosting friends and family. Wood-paneled ceilings and concrete floors mirror each other throughout the space, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen with the same midcentury modern appeal. These sunny and open interiors are accented by colorful, midcentury-inspired furnishings, transporting your to a groovy era of fun in the sun. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are tucked on the opposite side of the home, placed thoughtfully for optimal R&R.
The home spans almost 1,700 square feet, but the exterior is a true extension of the living space. The green backyard awaits with views of the San Jacinto Mountains, a fire pit and barbecue station, and a brand-new saltwater pool. Clearly, it’s a place where you’re mean to leave any worries at the door.
Bonnie Matthews and Henry Blackham of Compass holds the listing.
