Designed by renowned midcentury architect William Krisel, this iconic butterfly-roof residence in Little Beverly Hills captures the very essence of Palm Springs modernism; refined, architectural, and effortlessly cool. In a beautiful enclave of mid century properties, the front of the home is distinguished by an architectural screen, back lit at night to set this apart as the crown jewel of this architecturally significant neighborhood. Set against dramatic western mountain views, the home's crisp palette creates a timeless, gallery-like backdrop that honors its heritage while feeling entirely current. Clean horizontal lines and walls of glass celebrate Krisel's signature indoor-outdoor philosophy, flooding the interiors with natural light and framing the desert landscape beyond. Offering 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, the layout is both functional and design-forward. The open living spaces feature exposed beams, walls of glass, custom bar and a striking fireplace focal point. The kitchen maintains the home's minimalist integrity with warm walnut cabinetry, sleek white surfaces, coffee bar and seamless flow to dining and outdoor entertaining areas. The private and somewhat hidden primary suite is a true sanctuary looking out to a private courtyard with a shower and fountain designed for relaxation, sleep, and rejuvenation. Guest accommodations thoughtfully designed and spaced to provide privacy for all. Every space feels curated yet relaxed... a sophisticated neutral canvas layered with texture, light, and architectural detail. Outdoors the quintessential Palm Springs experience unfolds: a sparkling pool and spa set beneath open sky, framed by sculptural desert landscaping and uninterrupted western mountain vistas. Multiple lounging and dining areas, cabana, fire feature, bbq, and bar invite sunset cocktails and effortless entertaining. Authentic. Architectural. Timelessly neutral. A rare opportunity to own a true Krisel-designed butterfly in one of Palm Springs' most celebrated midcentury neighborhoods.
