Experience the epitome of mid-century modern living in this exceptional 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home, originally designed by renowned architect William Krisel. A 2014 addition of a freestanding casita expanded the living space, blending timeless design with contemporary comfort. Meticulously restored by its current owner, an award-winning industrial designer, this residence underwent a two-year transformation that honored Krisel's guiding principles: form follows function, simplicity is key, and quality speaks for itself. Every design element was carefully considered to create a seamless fusion of elegance, innovation, and practicality. The result is a home that radiates sophistication while maintaining a playful, inviting atmosphere. Perfectly situated near downtown Palm Springs and minutes from the airport, this home is both a serene retreat and a convenient hub. Its architectural significance earned it a place on the prestigious Palm Springs Modernism Week home tour in 2015, showcasing its impeccable restoration. The fully reimagined outdoor areas are designed for both entertaining and relaxation. The landscaped front yard enhances curb appeal with period-authentic desert landscaping, grass circles, and professional accent lighting. A private backyard sanctuary offers high perimeter walls that ensure privacy and sound containment. The spacious casita and pool house, with floor-to-ceiling glass frontage, provide stunning mountain views and include a half bath. A custom-built heavy-gauge steel trellis for outdoor entertaining shelters the bar, BBQ, and dining area, complete with integrated lighting. A 14-foot sunken concrete fire pit with outstanding acoustics creates a cozy gathering spot. There are two outdoor showers, one serving the pool area and the other convenient to the master suite. A 14' x 17' putting green provides an extra touch of leisure, while the kidney-shaped pool retains its original underwater seating bench and features an added tanning shelf wit
