Einfamilienhaus In Palm Springs

Located in Vista Las Palmas, Palm Springs’ iconic midcentury modern neighborhood, this home is a rare combination of architectural pedigree, privacy, expansive views, and thoughtful modernization. This is a quintessential Krisel residence with the character of 1959 and the comfort of today.

Distinctive for its 9 ft ceilings, full height glass, exposed wood beams and pure post-and-beam construction, the home captures the effortless indoor-outdoor living that defines Palm Springs modernism while offering an unusually private setting with panoramic mountain and desert views.

Thoughtfully upgraded and refitted for contemporary living, the home combines architectural integrity with energy-efficient systems and updated finishes. Porcelain flooring extends throughout, while abundant natural light filters through both skylights and walls of glass. The kitchen features glass mosaic tile, Caesarstone countertops, gas range, and wine refrigerator. Bathrooms are equally well arranged with glass mosaic tile and contemporary fixtures.

Unlike many Alexander’s, this home offers an expanded primary bathroom and sitting area, along with a formal dining room that adds a sense of scale and flexibility rarely found in these iconic floor plans. The dining area is highlighted by a Marc Pascall chandelier with windows and sliding doors that open the living space to the outdoors.

The private grounds are designed for effortless desert living, with tall, manicured hedges, artificial turf, mature lemon and grapefruit trees, built-in BBQ, gas fire pit, and a recently refreshed pool with new tile. The home’s sustainability features include owned solar with 36 panels, a foam roof recoated in 2023, tankless water heater, water filtration system, and a drip irrigation system.

Additional improvements include two HVAC systems, with the main system installed in 2023 and the primary bedroom system in 2018; upgraded piping in 2026; recessed and track lighting; garage built-ins; California Closets in all bedrooms; carpeting in the bedrooms; and a gas decorative fireplace.
