About this property
The butterfly roof. The pool. The room to breathe. This Alexander home brings together three enduring pleasures of Palm Springs living: distinctive midcentury architecture, sunshine, and generous outdoor space. Set on a 10,454-square-foot lot in the Racquet Club neighborhood, the home’s signature roofline makes an unmistakable first impression. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms span approximately 1,225 square feet, while newly installed Milgard front windows complement its architectural character. Outside, new landscaping and a newly rebuilt pool preserving the original layout give the backyard a fresh chapter. There is space to gather with friends, spend an afternoon by the water, and enjoy the desert evenings. A classic Palm Springs Alexander with an iconic silhouette and the grounds to make outdoor living part of every day.
