About this property

Palm Springs MidCentury Modern - Modern Meets History: Stay in a Classic Alexander Construction Home

If you're looking for pure entertainment value wrapped in iconic Palm Springs style, you've found it. This unforgettable vacation home - winner of a designer remodel TV show and an annual standout on the Modernism Tour - embodies everything people love about mid‑century architecture. Designed by famed architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer and built by the Alexander Construction Company in 1959, the home has been lovingly restored and thoughtfully upgraded, blending its architectural heritage with modern comfort and resort‑level amenities.

From the moment you arrive, the property feels like a private playground. The expansive outdoor space offers nearly a quarter acre of fun, featuring a sparkling pool and spa, a bocce ball court with a built‑in two‑hole putting green, a fire pit, a pergola, and multiple lounging and dining areas. Landscape lighting sets the mood as the sun goes down, and the natural‑gas BBQ makes alfresco meals effortless. Whether you're floating in the pool, practicing your short game, or sipping cocktails by the fire, the backyard is designed for long, laughter‑filled days and unforgettable evenings under the desert sky.

Inside, the home is bright, stylish, and filled with natural light thanks to the dramatic accordion folding glass wall that opens a full ten feet to the outdoors. This seamless indoor‑outdoor flow is quintessential Palm Springs living. The living room features two comfortable sofas, a large‑screen TV, and décor that honors the home's mid‑century roots while feeling fresh and modern. With 1,505 square feet of living space on a 10,019‑square‑foot lot, there's plenty of room for your group to spread out, relax, and enjoy.

The updated kitchen is fully stocked and designed for gathering, with stainless‑steel appliances, ample counter space, and everything you need to prepare meals together. Whether you're cooking breakfast before a day by the pool or mixing drinks for sunset hour, the kitchen is both functional and inviting.

This furnished three‑bedroom, two‑bathroom home offers comfortable sleeping arrangements for everyone. Each guest bedroom features quality linens, sleek furniture, artwork, and a flat‑screen TV. The primary suite opens directly to the backyard and includes a king‑size bed, a large TV, and an en‑suite bathroom with a walk‑in shower. The additional bedrooms are equally well‑appointed, offering cozy beds and stylish décor that make every room feel like its own retreat.

From the pool area, you'll enjoy stunning views of the San Jacinto Mountains - one of the most dramatic sights in the desert. Whether you're lounging in the sun, playing Marco Polo, or gathering around the fire pit, the setting is pure Palm Springs magic.

Located just five minutes from downtown Palm Springs, the home offers quick access to restaurants, boutiques, galleries, the casino, and all the excitement of Palm Canyon Drive. It's the perfect home base for a stylish, sun‑soaked, entertainment‑packed getaway.

This iconic Alexander home delivers everything you want in a Palm Springs vacation rental - architecture, history, comfort, and endless fun. It's a place where memories come easy and the desert lifestyle shines.

This home was perfect for our girlfriend getaway! We took advantage of all of the amenities and didn’t want for anything. The kitchen was well stocked and spacious for our cooking needs, the living spaces were comfortable and relaxing for hanging out and listening to records, and the beds in each of the rooms were extremely comfortable. The outdoor space was the highlight of the stay and we loved having a Nana Wall that opened up to the backyard from the kitchen. The beautiful pool and hot tub were enjoyed each day and the lounge chairs got lots of use. We played a few rounds of bocce ball too! The neighborhood was very quiet and felt extremely safe with other beautiful properties all around us. The location was perfect and it only took us a few minutes to drive into town. We arrived to a small issue with the sprinkler system in the back yard and it was dealt with quickly and professionally. All of the communication with the host from the start of booking the trip to the moment we checked out was stellar! Would highly recommend this home for your next Palm Springs vacation!
