INSIDE LIVING
Our home is designed to be the ideal desert getaway. Many were built as vacation homes for the Hollywood stars and these iconic Alexander homes have been welcoming people to the desert throughout their history. We welcome all and want you to enjoy and relax.

The original 1,225 square foot home was enlarged many years ago enclosing the breezeway and original carport to house a kitchen and dining room, giving it much more interior living space than the typical Alexander home. The interior living spaces make it easy for spending time with your group or time for yourself. The oversized living space is spacious and bright with two separate but connected seating areas, including a 'den' area with seating and a 55” smart television. There are lots of books in different genres to enjoy during your stay and several board and table games, as well as a ping pong table outside under the carport.

The living areas and kitchen and dining areas all open to amazing pool and mountain views. The kitchen and dining area include dining for at least six plus two large bar areas with additional seating. The kitchen island is huge –the perfect place for gathering or prepping. The appliances, large and small, are all new. The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, baking or just warming up something from one of Palm Springs many wonderful restaurants. The ruby red grapefruit tree offers delicious fruit and amazing juice for cocktails by the pool, juicer included! A Meyer lemon tree offers wonderful fruit in late November – December. Please enjoy the fruits when they are ripe.

We wanted to make sure you sleep well...all three bedrooms have plush, super comfy mattresses and fresh, natural cotton bedding. All the bedrooms have large closets. The master bedroom has a king bed, private bathroom with its own door to the pool and backyard. Each of the other bedrooms have queen beds and share the second bath. The bathrooms are updated while retaining their original 1959 footprint. We upgraded the master bath with walk-in shower; it was hard for historic reasons to let go of the 'sunken' tub, but safety and today's preferences made this a good decision.

For convenience, there are desks in several rooms and Wi-Fi is included and easy to access.

We provide all cotton pool towels and linens. There is a full-sized washer and dryer. The new energy efficient AC and heating system allow you to control the living space to your comfort.

OUTSIDE
As comfortable as the interior spaces are, the yard is the place to be. It is entirely enclosed and gated with wonderful, landscaping - all maintained and designed to have something in bloom throughout the year. The entire space is yours to lounge and enjoy the spectacular Palm Springs sun – and stars. We offer several different spaces to enjoy your time here. The saltwater pool and spa are the high point surrounded with shade umbrellas, chaise lounge, a cozy swing chair, more chairs and side tables. You can enjoy evenings around the fire pit on comfortable seating for a brilliant star show. The patio includes a pergola with seating to enjoy dining al fresco, along with a grill for outdoor cooking.

LOCATION
Our home is just minutes from downtown- with all its shops, boutiques, galleries and a wonderful art museum. The casino, convention center, dance and entertainment are all within a mile or two. The tram is very close to our house and the Palm Springs Air Museum makes an interesting visit to see some vintage aircraft.
