Situated on a prime corner lot is this flat roof 1961 Palmer
& Krisel-designed home in the exclusive Vista Las Palmas neighborhood. With three bedrooms and three bathroom in
1,850 square feet, the home includes an in-ground pool and spa, a two car
garage and all furnishings for an asking price of $1,075,000.

Currently utilized as a vacation rental, the home sits on a
11,700 square-foot corner lot with a west-facing backyard capitalizing on
nearby mountainside views. The home has been renovated over the years to read
more southwestern than midcentury modern. The front yard is semi-walled in with
low-maintenance landscape. The original two-car carport has been converted to a
two-car garage, and the entry courtyard has been enclosed and gated off for
additional privacy.

Inside, the open living and dining rooms sit in their
original configuration at the rear of the home, overlooking the backyard
swimming pool and mountain views. A large natural stone fireplace anchors the two
rooms while the original open-beamed ceilings add height and volume to the
space.

The kitchen sits just off the dining room and entry, and
features recently updated Tuscan-styled cabinetry, tumbled marble backsplashes
and counters and stainless steel appliances. A formal dining room has been added just off
the kitchen and original dining room, which overlooks the backyard and pool
area.

The three bedrooms remain in their original configurations,
with the secondary bedrooms at the front of the home facing east. The master
bedroom sits at the rear corner of the home, with French doors leading out to
the pool area. Both original bathrooms and the third added guest bath have been
updated and renovated in a style very similar to the kitchen, with neutral tile
accents and updated fixtures.

The backyard is the star of this home, with commanding views
of Mt. San Jacinto that are virtually unobstructed. The original Alexander 15’
x 30’ rectangular swimming pool sits at the center of the yard, and a small
raised spa has been added to one corner of the pool. Privacy shrubs surround
the yard, and a trellised barbeque area sits behind the pool, while a long
covered patio wraps the rear of the home.
This home is loaded with character, and carries fantastic
views that alone are worth a million dollars. New owners could opt to restore,
renovate or enjoy this solid home as-is – either way it’s a fantastic property that’s
tough to pass up.
