Situated on the 9th hole of the Las Vegas
National Golf Course is this 2,744 square-foot modified 1963 Palmer &
Krisel butterfly-roofed home. Rumored to
have at one point hosted actress Betty Grable this home includes three bedrooms
and two-and-a-half bathrooms and a large in-ground pool with an asking price of
$378,900.
This is the first time this home has been on the market
since 1977. It’s filled with old-school Vegas swank and charm from a long-gone
era, making this home pretty unique and interesting. The front of the home is
fairly classic, with a low maintenance desert front yard and two covered
carports. The clerestory windows have long been removed from the façade of this
home, and vintage board-and-batten covered what would have originally been
stucco.

The foyer opens up into the combination living and dining
room which in turn opens up to the kitchen. There’s a small breezeway/atrium
off of the living room which leads to the former carport, which now functions
as a detached family room/den/mother-in-law suite. The kitchen and dining areas
feature plenty of faux-brick, updated cabinetry and an added skylight to help
illuminate an otherwise dark space.
Off the kitchen is a large family room/den addition, that
features plenty of retro wood-paneling, a large built-in wet bar with a
wood-block veneer, and wooden shingles helping to define the space. There’s
lots of great vintage pieces to appreciate here, including the lighting. The bedrooms appear to have been reconfigured
somewhat, and have been expanded from their original sizes. There’s lots of
wallpaper throughout to appreciate, along with several different styles of
carpeting.
The backyard is fairly low-maintenance, holding the large
in-ground pool, a small grassy area and covered patio. There’s sweeping views
of the 9th hole at Las Vegas National, giving the backyard a
park-like feel. This is definitely a vintage Las Vegas home full of character and
history, and whether maintained, restored or renovated will definitely make a
great home for one luck new homeowner.
