Location: Sunmor, Palm Springs, Central, Palm Springs, Deserts, California, USA (Minutes from Airport and Downtown Palm Springs) View Map
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms, 4 Baths (Sleeps 2-8)
This beautifully appointed home offers four bedrooms (fifth bedroom is converted to TV room)/four baths and was professionally restored and expanded in 2006. Located on a quiet street in the historic Sunmor neighborhood, the main house is an Alexander mid-century home, built in 1958 with breath taking views of the San Jacinto Mountains and surrounding valley. The original Alexander of just under 1300 square feet was expanded to just under 2,600 square feet maintaining the original post and beam, floor to ceiling glass and character of the Alexander "Chalet" home. The expansion of the house was done with green and recycled materials. The highest considered was given to design, Alexander’s vision and building efficiency when expanding.
This home is centrally located with an easy 15-minute walk to the downtown Palm Springs where you will find numerous restaurants, shops, and entertainment. The house is also located near the Palm Springs airport which makes traveling very easy.
The interior of the home was inspired over many years of travel and the love of Palm Springs architecture and living. The designer was influenced by Southeast Asia and carried a Zen-like quality thought out the home including exterior landscaping in which 44,000 pounds of rock were brought in from Bali, Indonesia.
Guests will enjoy living outside at this Palm Springs compound as much as inside. Lush fichus shrubbery provided complete privacy while in the back yard. Palms surround the rear yard and spa giving it that “resort” feel. On the north side are a pool, an outdoor kitchen and living room. The center of the yard is park-like yard with a large lawn and a picturesque “Hockney” looking pool and spa. The interior areas and grounds come alive at night with dramatic lighting on palms, a 2,500 pound Buddha hand carved from Java stone. A star-filled sky with not a street light in sight make for the perfect evening at this classic compound in Palm Springs.

Why the Owner Chose Sunmor
I love the location and the traditional Alexander mid-century neighborhood. Sunmor neighborhood is quiet and well preserved. Its history relating to Palm Springs is quite amazing.
The Unique Benefits at this House
When staying at the Livmor house you will find a peaceful tranquility. Relaxation is the key at this home. Many of the art objects on the property come from the far east. Indonesia, Vietnam and Thailand are but some of the countries art and working components of the home originate from. In fact, over 44,000 pounds of rock were brought in from Bali for this unique compound!
Owner's Map of Sunmor
I have been designing and building residential homes for 20 years. It is a passion for me. I love the element of surprise and understatement in a home. I make sure every property I have done contains those two elements along with loads of emotion. Everyone should feel something after leaving a great property.
