A rare convergence of architectural significance, exceptional condition, and prime location, this iconic William Krisel-designed, Alexander-built home is a standout offering in the highly coveted Twin Palms neighborhood of South Palm Springs.

In addition to the main house, a detached casita offers the flexibility of a spacious fourth bedroom which provides privacy and serenity for guests or acts as a detached workspace or retreat. The enclosed, secluded and secure backyard provides a resort-style sanctuary with an elevated spa spilling into the pool (replastered 2025), water feature, breeze brick wall, gas firepit, outdoor shower, built-in BBQ with counter and sink, private patio off the primary suite, and a combination of lush succulent landscaping and astroturf, all designed for effortless, conservation-friendly, desert living.
