Built in 1961 by the Alexander Construction Company is this expanded
Palmer & Krisel-designed midcentury home which was fully renovated in 2008
and again in 2012. Including a detached guest house, this home features four
bedrooms and four bathrooms in 3,290 square feet, a two car garage and an in-ground
pool and spa on a .28-acre cul-de-sac lot with an asking price of $1,695,000.

The exterior of the home exudes a great mix of midcentury
modern and modern elements, with opaque garage door and courtyard gates, and
classic H-shadow block on the façade of the home. The landscape is desert
modern, with dramatic black stone juxtaposed against water conserving artificial
turf. A portion of the original courtyard , behind the H-shadow block, was annexed
for additional living room space by a previous owner in 2008.

Krisel’s signature open, beamed ceilings which have been modified with several
skylights letting in additional light. The dining room sits to the rear of the

The master bedroom overlooks the swimming pool, and provides
a pair of single-pane French doors to the yard area. A large spa-like master
bath sits off of the bedroom along the back of the home, providing both a large
shower and soaking tub, dual vanity and mosaic tile accents. The remaining two

Out back is an entirely detached guest casita with its own
bedroom and bath overlooking the pool area. The pool itself is long, linear and
architectural, with a decorative shadow H-block supporting a water feature
focal point. Large privacy shrubs surround the walls of the yard, and stunning
views of Mt. San Jacinto make the yard a dreamy escape. If you're looking for a midcentury home with modern updates, be sure to check this one out.
