Property Description

Where Mid-Century Modern meets Neoclassical design. This remarkable residence, located in the sought-after Canyon View Estates of South Palm Springs, is truly one-of-a-kind. Originally designed by famed architect William Krisel, the home features his iconic pop-up umbrella rooflines and clerestory windows, both hallmarks of a visionary who helped shape the Palm Springs modernist movement.The interiors showcase a stunning expression of neoclassical elegance. Hand-cut French limestone floors, laid on the diagonal from front to back, anchor the living spaces. Dramatic Mahogany beamed ceilings finished with gold leaf. Custom millwork includes raised and recessed matching-grain mahogany paneling in the dining room and second bedroom/den, walnut paneling in the third bedroom, and boxed-hinged cabinetry in the kitchen. The primary bathroom is appointed with filled travertine tile with black onyx inserts, and granite counters. Hidden doors and moving bookshelves create secret passageways, blending architectural surprise with function. The second bedroom is used as a den with a Murphy bed. The house has a newer hot water heater (2023) and a recoated roof (2025).Designed for both style and comfort, the residence offers an easy flow between living, dining, and entertaining areas, enhanced by abundant natural light. Canyon View Estates provides a serene desert setting with mountain views, community pools, and the architectural pedigree that has made the neighborhood one of Palm Springs' most celebrated. The community was recently used as the location for the feature film Don't Worry Darling.
