The Butterfly Alexander – Stylish Mid-Century Home with Pool, Spa, Views & Fire Pit

Elevate your Palm Springs getaway at this iconic mid‑century retreat, originally envisioned in 1959 by renowned architect William Krisel. With its signature butterfly roofline and timeless modernist design, this home captures the essence of classic Palm Springs style—now enhanced with luxurious contemporary comforts for an unforgettable desert escape.

Step into your private outdoor oasis, where sun‑drenched relaxation meets sweeping mountain views. The expansive pool invites refreshing dips throughout the day, while the eight‑person infinity spa offers the perfect spot to unwind beneath the desert sky. Cushioned loungers, multiple umbrellas, and lush landscaping create a serene setting for soaking up the sun or enjoying quiet moments in the shade. Host alfresco dinners under the pergola‑covered dining area, fire up the natural‑gas grill for effortless outdoor cooking, and watch the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway glide up the San Jacinto Mountains as the sky turns shades of pink and gold. Evenings here feel cinematic.

Inside, the home blends vintage charm with modern convenience. A bright, open floor plan features sleek concrete floors, mid‑century décor, and walls of glass that frame the outdoor beauty. The stylish living area invites you to lounge by the fireplace, curl up on the cozy sofa, or enjoy a movie night with friends. The retro‑chic kitchen embraces its original 1950s cabinetry while offering top‑tier stainless‑steel appliances - perfect for everything from gourmet dinners to late‑night snacks.

Each of the three bedrooms is designed for comfort and tranquility, outfitted with memory‑foam beds and thoughtful touches that ensure a restful night's sleep. The primary suite features a king bed, blackout shades, private patio access, and a beautifully tiled en‑suite bathroom. Two guest rooms, each with a queen bed, 32" TV, and striking architectural windows with blackout coverings, share a stylish hallway bathroom with a shower‑tub combo.

Located in the peaceful Racquet Club Estates neighborhood - just 1.5 miles from downtown - this home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. Explore the vibrant restaurants, boutiques, and galleries along Palm Canyon Drive, or venture into nature at Tahquitz Canyon, Indian Canyon, and Mount San Jacinto State Park. For a memorable day trip, Joshua Tree National Park awaits with its surreal desert landscapes and endless adventure.

Timeless, inviting, and effortlessly stylish, this Krisel‑designed retreat delivers the perfect blend of relaxation, exploration, and mid‑century charm. Your Palm Springs escape begins the moment you arrive.
