    A "Palmer & Krisel" Original. Nestled in the historic and iconic Racquet Club Estates, this Mid-Century stunner designed by Palmer & Krisel and built by Alexander Construction Co. perfectly captures the innovative spirit of desert modernism. This neighborhood is a true reminder of the importance of design, famous for its five distinct rooflines and architectural pedigree highlighted by open floor plans, atriums, and breezeways. Inside, the signature post-and-beam construction is flooded with California sunshine via breathtaking walls of glass and strategically placed clerestory windows that frame the incredible San Jacinto mountain views. While retaining its 1959 soul, this residence has been meticulously updated for the 21st century to blend vintage charm with modern luxury. The unique, restored floating iron and tile fireplace serves as a stunning focal point for cool desert nights, complemented by glossy tile floors. The kitchen features Caesarstone counters, custom cabinetry, and sleek stainless steel appliances. Even the bathrooms have been thoughtfully coordinated with modern mosaic accent tiles that feel authentically Palm Springs. Practical updates like OWNED solar, an EV charger in the garage, updated plumbing, and dual-pane windows ensure this classic home functions with contemporary efficiency. Designed for the quintessential indoor-outdoor living experience, the spacious south-facing backyard is a private resort and the ultimate Palm Springs lifestyle. A gorgeous swimming pool invites you to float for hours, while a jetted spa helps you de-stress under the starry desert nights. The outdoor space is an entertainer's dream, featuring a custom sunshade canopy and a covered patio defined by a vibrant artist-curated mural. Whether you're sipping cocktails by the mural wall or rinsing off in the tiled outdoor shower, every inch is framed by beautiful landscaping and striking views. Located just blocks from the chic downtown area and all things cool Palm Springs has to offer. This home is a magnet for architecture fans seeking a sophisticated second home or a full-time residence. Welcome to Racquet Club Estates, stop dreaming and start living the life you've always imagined.
