Brand new to the market is the 1963 folded-plate roof Palmer
& Krisel designed home on the 12th green of the Las Vegas
National Golf Club. Once the retirement home of mid-century entertainment duo
Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, this home features four bedrooms and two bathrooms
with a two-car carport on a 10,400 square-foot lot with an asking price of
$340,000.
This is a rare Model 12A, with just a handful built in the
community. The home has been completely remodeled, and with the exception of a
garage conversion, generally retains its original floorplan. The front of the home is painted a subdued monochromatic
gray, and features a low care desert front yard.

Walking into the home, one enters the great living and
dining room area, which features that fantastic folded plate ceiling with
clerestories at each end. The rooms are divided by a signature Krisel
fireplace, which still retains its original form. Of course there’s the
standard walls of glass overlooking the backyard, swimming pool, and Las Vegas
National Golf Club.
The kitchen has been renovated, and is open to the dining
area, and features granite counters, and relatively simple, cherry wood
cabinets and allows for views to the front yard and street. The bathrooms have
been updated, with the hall bathroom featuring travertine counters, walls and
tub surround. The master bathroom has been updated to include euro-style tile,
travertine coutners, and a large glass step-in shower.

The backyard has been kept relatively simple, centered around
a large in-ground pool. There’s lots of red gravel and few plants, making the
green of the adjacent golf course seem that much more appealing. This is definitely
a fantastic property that was an ultra luxury mid-mod showplace at the time it
was built. With a few minor tweaks, this home could shine even brighter and
become a stellar example of mid century modern.
