About this property

1960 Midcentury Modern Palm Springs Home by Architect Donald Wexler

Our home is an atomic mid century modern in Palm Springs (City ID: 273). Built in 1960 by renowned Palm Springs architect Donald Wexler, our home sits on 1/4 acre, fully fenced, pool, spa. Amenities include saltwater pool (heat costs separately charged) and a Tesla wall charger in the carport.

All beds are of high quality as are kitchen stainless steel appliances and the bar is equipped with what you need to imbibe in style. 30 acres of natural desert landscape adjacent under towering Mt. San Jacinto mountains.

This is one of Wexler’s best. Meticulously cared-for, pet-friendly**, authentic midcentury single floor home is a 1,400 sf 3 bed, 2 bath home and a favorite on the annual Palms Springs Modernism Week tours since 2017 (www.modernismweek.com). Furnished in bold, sleek Atomic age styling. Unlike most Palm Springs vacation rental homes, we live part time in ours and make it available when we're traveling.

Heated pool and spa serviced twice a week. There is an extra charge to heat the pool. Spa is always heated at no charge. Enjoy listening to our huge album collection of 50’s, 60’s and 70’s Large screen wall-mounted smart TV's with Netflix, YouTubeTV, Amazon Prime.
You’ll be hard pressed to find a more original midcentury home available to vacation in than our Wexler.

** A $20.00 Pet fee, per pet -- per stay

Take me back to the 60's 1960 - 5 out of 5 stars
Our family getaway to Larry's 1960 Midcentury Modern Palm Springs Home was an absolute delight! From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported back to a bygone era of sleek design and desert chic. The architecture, true to the vision of Donald Wexler, was a masterpiece of clean lines, expansive windows, and a perfect blend of indoor and outdoor living. The home was impeccably appointed with furniture and decor that captured the essence of the 1960s. It felt like stepping onto the set of Mad Men, but with all the modern conveniences we could ask for. We spent countless hours relaxing by the pool, unwinding in the jacuzzi and enjoying movie nights on the large screen TV and playing games. It's clear that Larry takes great pride in this special property. The thoughtful touches, from the well-equipped kitchen to the extensive entertainment options, made our stay truly effortless. We can't recommend Larry's home enough! It's a perfect place for families who appreciate iconic design and a taste of Palm Springs' history.

Mid Century fabulous
The property is an outstanding mid century home close to downtown Palm Springs. The owner is very nice and quick to respond to our questions. If you like mid century architecture this Wexler house would be a nice place to stay. We will be staying here on our next trip to Palm Springs.
