About This Home

As of November 2024

You have to see this highly upgraded Mid Century Modern Alexander. It sits on a corner lot in the historic Twin Palms area of So Palm Springs. There is a circular drive for guests and a 2 car garage with newer glass doors around the side. Enjoy a gated entry with private access to the house. Check out the permitted 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom overlooking the salt water pool and a great landscaped yard. You can also entertain on 3 sides of the home. The granite filled kitchen has over the top upgrades and the bathrooms have newer modern cabinetry. In the last 10 years many systems have been replaced or modernized including double paned windows, newer kitchen and baths, flooring, paint and a host of other things. The beauty of the home lies in the soaring ceilings of this 1957 masterpiece but don't forget the fantastic mountain views. There are no wires on this lot toward the mountains. This home is highly upgraded and deserves a serious look by modern home buyers. Open Sat.
