Renowned architect William Krisel is best known for his iconic butterfly roofline designs and likely created more of them than any other architect. Twin Palms was the first Palm Springs neighborhood that Krisel developed for the Alexander Construction Company, so we can say that this is the birthplace of the type. This home is a perfect example of why his work was so important and continues to enthrall us to this day. The dramatic, soaring roof not only echoes the silhouette of the surrounding mountains but also allows for an expansive system of clerestory windows that help blur the line between indoors and out by allowing the interior to be filled with natural light and bringing the outdoors in. Krisel's designs for the Twin Palms neighborhood were elegantly simple, highly livable, and revolutionary in showing how cutting-edge architecture could be brought to the mainstream market. Now thoughtfully updated, this home invites you to experience Krisel's vision in a contemporary way. And to complete the mid-century modern experience, the home now has brand new terrazzo tile throughout. Featured are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with two additional bonus rooms accessed from the exterior, ideal for a studio, office, or guest space. The open-concept kitchen flows into the dining and living areas, which extend outward to a private pool, spa, and patio. A covered outdoor entertainment area with built-in BBQ completes this quintessential Palm Springs lifestyle experience. Here is an opportunity to secure the ultimate Palm Springs home just before the season begins.
