Some homes capture the spirit of Palm Springs. Others helped define it. Built in 1959 by the Alexander Construction Company and attributed to acclaimed architects Palmer & Krisel, this exceptional mid-century modern residence in Racquet Club Estates is a compelling expression of Desert Modernism, thoughtfully reimagined for contemporary living. Its architectural pedigree is immediately apparent in the soaring beamed ceilings, clerestory windows, clean lines, and walls of glass that dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out. An inspired addition designed by architects Corsini Stark, complemented by interiors conceived by a Los Angeles celebrity designer, introduces a sophisticated contemporary perspective while honoring the home's original character. Offering 1,834 square feet, four bedrooms, and three beautifully appointed bathrooms, the open floor plan connects the living and dining areas with a sleek kitchen featuring premium Thermador appliances, creating an inviting environment for intimate gatherings and effortless entertaining. Perhaps the home's most memorable architectural feature is the dramatic glass breezeway leading to the primary suite. Surrounded by expansive walls of glass overlooking the pool and gardens, this remarkable retreat offers an extraordinary sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. The spa-inspired bathroom takes that experience even further, with a soaking tub and shower framed by floor-to-ceiling glass, bringing the beauty of the desert landscape into everyday rituals. Beyond the glass, a private outdoor sanctuary captures everything that makes Palm Springs living so desirable. A sparkling pool anchors the beautifully landscaped backyard, where spectacular mountain views, a bocce ball court, and multiple areas for lounging and outdoor dining create an ideal setting for sun-filled afternoons and evenings under the desert sky. Thoughtfully designed, drought-conscious landscaping complements the architecture throughout the front and rear grounds. Modern improvements include dual-pane windows, 32 leased solar panels, and two air conditioning systems installed in 2024. Adding a subtle touch of Hollywood history, the property was once owned by Milburn Stone, remembered for his portrayal of Doc Adams on the television classic Gunsmoke. For those who appreciate authentic Alexander architecture, inspired contemporary design, and the unmistakable character of Palm Springs, this is a home best experienced in person.
