House of the Sun ft. Pool + Hot Tub

About this listing

THE SPACE:

Originally designed by William Krisel, a leading mid-century modern architect, and built by the famous Alexander Construction Company, House of the Sun is a glimpse into the idealized Palm Springs of the past.

This unforgettable #houseofthesun home is perfectly suited for a relaxing escape, with grapefruit and orange trees dotting the property and plenty of space to unwind in one of the many lounging areas by the large pool and jacuzzi.

A covered cabana makes for the perfect reading nook if you need to get out of the sun, and the custom-built fire pit is the ideal space to watch the sunset behind the mountains or gaze up at the stars at night. Inside the home, a spacious living room, connected dining space, and open kitchen come together to create a central gathering spot for family or friends. The large sliding doors create a seamless experience between the indoors and outdoors. Step out each morning into the private lawn. Each bedroom is equipped with a full size TV, closet space, and unique local art. House of the Sun rests in the prestigious Racquet Club Estates, a charming enclave of Alexander homes, built in the mid-1950s. The house is 5 minutes drive from downtown Palm Springs and walking distance to a variety of restaurants, bars, and Victoria Park.

As of January 2024, we’re thrilled to announce the addition of an above-ground jacuzzi in our beautiful backyard, exclusively for guest use. This fantastic addition is designed to elevate your stay and provide a perfect spot for relaxation. Please note that additional fees for heating apply for both the pool & hot tub.

Guests will have access to the entire home and the driveway to park (2 spots). There will be no one else on the property, other than the occasional gardener and pool man, unless otherwise discussed with you in advance. Guests will be given a code to enter the home

NEIGHBORHOOD INFO:

The Palm Springs community is a vibrant place to enjoy all that the area has to offer. There is a great downtown area, full of restaurants and shopping, and the city of Palm Springs is investing heavily to become a top tier destination for travelers.

The Racquet Club East neighborhood within Palm Springs is known for its style. Featuring post-and-beam construction, soaring rooflines, clerestory windows, open floor plans and blurred lines separating outdoors and in, the vast majority of the 500-plus single-family homes are iconic midcentury designs by architects William Krisel, Jack Meiselman, and Donald Wexler. Wexler pioneered the strikingly original ‘steel homes’ that introduced prefabricated, steel-and-glass construction of affordable housing created specifically for the desert and is seen prolifically in this neighborhood.
