Built in 1958 by the Alexander Construction company is this
modernist butterfly-roofed Palmer & Krisel-designed home being sold fully
furnished. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms in 1,278 square feet and an
in-ground pool on a 10,400 square-foot lot, the asking price on this home is
$669,000.

With a crisp white and dark-brown exterior, this
north-facing home pops with classic midcentury desert plantings, including
well-sculpted olive trees and billowy shrubs set amid clean grey stone.
Multiple palm trees add a tropics-like touch to the home, and a pair of bright
pink double doors lead visitors and guests inside the property.

| Dining and living rooms |
The living, dining and kitchen all overlook the private
backyard through Krisel’s signature walls of glass sliders. Clad in light
hardwood floors, the living room is anchored by Krisel’s signature modernist
fireplace, which has been covered in slate veneer. The original form of the
fireplace can be seen under the slate, and restored if desired. The open beamed
vaulted ceilings are still in place, painted a light beige, and unite the
kitchen, living and dining rooms together.

| Kitchen |
The kitchen is tucked off and open to the dining room, and
has been updated over time, with newer raised-panel light cabinetry which
contains an interesting mixture of knobs on the lower cabinetry and pulls on
the uppers. The counters are newer composite, and olive green subway tile has been
added as a backsplash.

The three bedrooms remain in their original configurations,
with the secondary bedrooms at the front of the home and the master at the
rear. The master bedrooms features a sliding glass door accessing the pool
area, while the master bath has been updated over time with materials that are
keeping in line with those utilized in the kitchen. The secondary bedrooms are
carpeted, and overlook the front yard through tall floor-to-ceiling windows.
 |
| Backyard and pool offers mountain views |
 |
| Covered patio and yard |
The south-facing backyard is a private oasis, with the
original large 15’ x 30’ Alexander swimming pool steps away from the living and
dining rooms. Beautiful mountain views abound from the pool and yard, adding to the resort-like feel of the landscape. A clean-lined covered patio sits off the living room, minimizing
the butterfly roofline of the home, providing ample patio space for entertaining
and outdoor living. Lush, green privacy shrubs line the rear yard, and
sculptural desert plantings and well-maintained turf surrounds the pool.
Even as this home is being sold fully furnished, there’s plenty
of room to personalize the home while considering modernist reworkings of the
kitchen and baths.
