Property Description
Designed by noted architect William Krisel in 1957, this iconic sun-flap model is located in the coveted enclave of Twin Palms, nationally noted as one of the most significant mid-century architectural neighborhoods in the US. With its striking curb appeal, modern amenities, tasteful finishes, a spacious backyard designed for entertaining and gorgeous views - this house has it all! Krisel designed his homes to improve people's lives, and when you walk into this home you have that immediate joyful impression. The light-filled interior has been meticulously remodeled, showcasing its original clean and elegant architectural lines. The mindful upgrades, done over time, include new plumbing, new cabinetry, refurbished post and beam 9-foot ceilings, a refreshed kitchen, new bathrooms, designer lighting, high-end tile and finishes, Fleetwood sliders and double-pane windows. Palm Springs is famous for its indoor-outdoor lifestyle and this impressive south-facing backyard is where a lot of daily living takes place! Three shade structures provide inviting areas for lounging, dining or sipping your favorite beverage while enjoy the stunning mountain views. The saltwater pool was recently resurfaced and a spa was added. There is even an outdoor shower! This house has been scrupulously maintained and has not been used as a rental, though vacation rentals in this neighborhood are allowed and not yet capped. It is FEE land - which means no tribal lease. 973 E. La Jolla Road is truly a rare Palm Springs move-in ready gem!
