Iconic Mid-Century Modern House - Heated Pool, Spa and Cabana
City ID #002406. Experience Iconic Palm Springs Living at this architecturally significant mid-century modern home, originally designed by famed California architects Palmer & Krisel and developer Robert Alexander. Fully renovated for today’s comfort while preserving its original charm, the home sits in Palm Springs’ celebrated Racquet Club Estates neighborhood, once home to the legendary Racquet Club Resort.
Timeless Mid-Century Design
The house showcases the hallmarks of desert modernism with an open floor plan, soaring vaulted ceilings beneath the iconic “butterfly” roofline, exposed tongue-and-groove beams, and dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass walls that flood the interiors with natural light. Every space has been thoughtfully updated to highlight these striking features while adding modern comforts.
Stylish Indoor Living
The open-concept kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, Keurig, traditional and Nespresso coffee brewers, and all the essentials for cooking and entertaining. The living and dining areas offer direct mountain and garden views, with seamless indoor-outdoor flow through expansive glass walls.
The master suite is a true retreat, featuring a cozy gas fireplace, wall-mounted smart TV, private patio, and a luxurious en suite bath with dual vanities and an oversized step-down glass-tile shower. A walk-in closet with abundant custom storage makes it ideal for longer stays.
Furnishings throughout the home are inspired by mid-century design icons, including a curved low-back sofa, a Mies van der Rohe Barcelona chair, and raised platform beds with luxury mattresses and hotel-quality linens.
Outdoor Paradise
Designed for relaxation and entertaining, the desirable west-facing backyard offers sun all day and sweeping mountain views. Take a dip in the large Pebble-Tec® pool with gentle step-down access, lounge beneath swaying palms on adjustable chaises, or unwind in the spa with therapeutic jets.
A detached cabana extends the living space outdoors, complete with a natural gas BBQ grill, cooktop burner, prep sink, and a lighted dining area for alfresco meals. After dinner, gather in the outdoor sofas, mix a retro cocktail, and enjoy the fire pit under the stars.
As night falls, professional resort-style lighting transforms the backyard into a desert oasis, illuminating the palms and pool for a magical evening setting.

About the host
Hosted by Michael and Scott
In 2008 a group of close friends from Seattle rented this delightful mid-century modern home for a winter escape from the rain and cold. We all fell instantly in love with the magical desert 'zen' that this home provided. Despite all the nearby attractions and activities, we found ourselves spending the majority of our four lazy days lounging by (and in!) the private pool, soaking up the sun, and grilling lunch and dinner poolside. At night we all enjoyed the wonderful sensation of slowly immersing ourselves into the jetted hot tub and gazing upwards at the stars. Three years later we discovered that this home was for sale. We didn't hesitate a second to purchase this vacation home for ourselves, families, and friends. As our guests, we trust you will have an equally memorable stay at our 'home away from home!'
Why they chose this property
As mid-century modern enthusiasts, we jumped at the opportunity to purchase this iconic “Butterfly” Alexander-built mid-century modern house. We’re thrilled to share it with our guests. We spent over 8 months fully renovating this amazing house and property to its original splendor. With the exception of the frame and exterior stucco siding, the house is essentially all new.
What makes this property unique
This home is a highly sought-after authentic Alexander-built 'butterfly' roofline house. The main living areas and private western-facing back yard boast breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountain range. Just a short walk away is the steps away is the beautifully landscaped Victoria Park with a grass lawn and children playground.
