What's better than Modernism week which begins tonight?
Getting a listing for an incredible storied mid-century home with a glamorous Palm Springs back story!
|
1080 East Alejo Road Pool with hot tub and fire pits |
This pedigreed home was custom built in 1951 by Paul Summers and Caroline Birge (Hicks) the owners of the
Ingleside Inn (home to Melvyn's!) The Ingleside Inn has and continues to be a wonderfully oasis of Palm Springs Chic that will never go out of style. Martinis, Oysters Rockefeller, a Tuxedo Wearing MaƮtre d', live music most nights, movie stars over the years who have called it home away from home, a glamorous pool with sexy bungalows - what's not to love?
The home remained in their ownership until 2003.The new owners took great care and respect bringing all aspects up to date.
Located in the chic neighborhood of the Movie Colony and a few doors down from The Frank Sinatra Estate Twin Palms, the home is centrally located while preserving a compound feel.
Coming in at little under 2500 square feet, on a little more than half an acre, this spacious 3 bedroom 3 bathroom home offers state of the art modern amenities.
Some of the features are: vaulted ceilings, flagstone fireplace, gourmet kitchen, and walls of glass are a few of the magnificent attributes of this special property. Outside is a beautifully landscaped backyard with a swimming pool surrounded by 3 fire pits set against the dramatic backdrop of the mountains.
Apparently, we weren't the only ones who felt this way! Today,
The Desert Sun did a loving write up in honor of this special house!
Here's a walk through video of the home
