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 over 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 conveniently to 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.

Map & Owner's Profile
Palm Springs Compound! 5b/4b.Best Quality! Mid-Century/ Modern
Year Purchased: 2004
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.

This is a terrific place for getting together with a group of friends or family. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the pool and jacuzzi are perfect, and the outside kitchen area is a great gathering place. I highly recommend it!

I would recommend this to anyone seeking a teriffic house to rent for a week long, or weekend getaway. What a great place! Gorgeous. Clean. The cabanas are unbelievable. Teriffic place for a group or solo vacation. Recently had a dinner party weekend there with 3 other couples (part of a rotating dinner group) and it was so much fun to just hang out, use the pool, create our own wine-tasking dinner, hop in the jacuzzi and just chill whenever we felt like it. The place is laid out so you can socialize with your friends or, just read a book, or whatever you want, depending on your mood. This is a great place for one couple or a small group of friends to stay. Architecture is fabulous. Landscaping is perfect. Pool and jacuzzi are sparkling. Outdoor sound system that plugs right into your ipod. Wonderful outdoor eating/entertaining area. Helpful, nice, owners. Can't beat it. Photos are totally accurate but not even a photo can capture the peacefulness and "resort" feel to this place. You never really want to leave the house. Can't wait to stay there again!

My family has stayed at this home multiple times and will continue to come back again and again. The Sunmor neighborhood is a quite, well kept, mid-century community near downtown. Close to the airport yet very quite! I can’t say enough about the home and it amenities. This is a wonderful, clean, modern, newly renovated home with lots of space both inside and out. I love the huge pool and extra deep spa with panoramic views of the hills. The owner is great, friendly and always accessible if needed. This house is a must for your Palm Springs vacation!

Thank you again for opening up your home to our friends and creating this unique possibility for our Cellar Crawl weekend. Although you refer to the property as the Palm Springs Compound I found it to be more like a light, bright, open yet private retreat. Masterfully landscaped. Of course a compound is a cluster of buildings having a “shared purpose” and this could not be more true to our experience. Our party of nine, eight couples and one single all arrived at different times on Friday and comfortably settled into very clean, spacious and welcoming accommodations without disturbing one another or interrupting the evening activities. All the rooms offer individual privacy and quiet from the other guests while allowing for group interaction as you choose. The early arrivers were able to go to sleep undisturbed while the late arrivals carried the torch into the night. The kitchen is open and functional providing a social dynamic for those preparing food while entertaining. Our hostesses created a five-course meal, wine pairing and desserts for 9 people very comfortably. A formal table set in the outdoor dining area with beautiful lighting and sound design around the pool and spa grounds provided a nighttime resort atmosphere. It was so wonderful to just walk into the backyard and relax. Your home is like a world unto itself, private and comfortable. Attention to every detail of space is evident and so appreciated. The Owner's Manual answers every guest question imaginable and more with such a personal, local flare. I loved being able to swim and hot tub at whim throughout the weekend. Everyone was in the pool by Saturday night. While I swam, others took naps, read or explored on their computers. Some of us golfed and others went to the casinos. The bottom line is an unforgettable experience of social interaction, relaxation and exercise. My weekend felt like a weeklong getaway. Every time I stay at this property, I do not want to leave. Instead, I stay an extra day and look at real estate. I want to feel this way everyday in my own Palm Springs Compound. We welcome staying again soon. We hope you enjoy the champagne. Thank you so much for dreaming and creating such a wonderful space and sharing it with others.

This home turned out to be a fantastic venue to host our weekend retreat gathering with 8 close friends! It is spacious, festive, intimate and private all at the same time. The surrounding mountains and meticulous landscaping add to a wonderful and stunning desert experience…especially at day break! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

It's hard to imagine a more ideal property for a family reunion or a getaway for a group of friends. We just got back from a long week-end gathering of friends (4 couples) and we had one of the best times imaginable. Architecture fans will love this Alexander mid-century modern. Everyone will be impressed by the beautiful design elements that abound throughout, inside and out. The property is immaculate, not a detail left unattended to (from great linens to the art, etc.) and it's the perfect place for outdoor fun. Plus, the backyard is completely private. We were in the pool and spa until after midnight! One night we BBQ'd outside and the next we prepared a gourmet 6-course meal using the inside, well-equipped kitchen. This stunning home makes you feel like you're in a fancy resort. It's also centrally located, close to downtown Palm Springs and the Spa casino. I can hardly wait to return!
