Completed in 1958 and designed by architect Charles Du Bois, this Polynesian-influenced beauty of a home just hit the market for the first time in almost 20 years. You might know this architectural style as “Swiss miss” or “Alohaus.” And if you think it looks like it belongs in the movies, that’s probably because its creator, Du Bois, once worked as a set designer for MGM.
Inside, breathtaking mountain and open sky views abound in the central entertaining rooms and primary suite. An excellent floor plan includes a formal entry, a breakfast area, a spacious living room with stone fireplace, a sunny patio, and great separation of the four bedrooms. Soaring tongue and groove ceilings, concrete floors, and walls of glass are just a few of the amazing details and features. A large private yard offers more than a third of an acre with a swimmer’s pool.
This iconic home has a commanding street presence with an excellent location at the end of its street, alleviating traffic and noise, in the historic Vista Las Palmas neighborhood. Perfectly positioned palm trees and an unobstructed mountain backdrop provide a postcard façade. A rock wall in the front almost blends the home into its surroundings. Priced at $2,498,000, this incredible home is in pristine vintage condition and is a unique, coveted piece of Palm Springs history.
