A midcentury modern Palm Springs, CA, home built in the style of a Polynesian A-frame is being sold for $3,750,000.
The four-bedroom abode was originally constructed in 1958.
“The home was built as part of the Alexander Construction company’s Vista Las Palmas project,” says listing agent Chris Menrad. “They used two architects, William Krisel and Charles Du Bois, but this particular home was built by Du Bois.”
Known for their work in Palm Springs, Krisel and Du Bois are considered part of the desert modernism movement.
The dramatic roofline of the 3,103-square-foot place lends itself particularly well to the mountainous backdrop and lush landscaping of its surrounding .39-acre property.
“Besides the swimming pool and spa, the home has an expansive backyard lit by tiki torches, a completely covered outdoor kitchen, and a dining area that can be heated in cool weather,” Menrad says.
The outdoor space also includes a fire pit.

The property has a casita with a wet bar and a bedroom for guests. A master suite and two additional bedrooms are found inside the main home.
“The whole house was updated about 10 years ago,” Menrad says. “The kitchen, baths, casita, and pool were all redone then. The new spa, outdoor kitchen, and dining area were also added during that time.”
Large windows and skylights flood the interior with natural light and views of the thriving succulent gardens and mature palm trees.
“It’s one of the largest lots in the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood, and it’s a corner lot,” Menrad says.
The home is also within walking and biking distance to the shops and restaurants of Palm Canyon Drive.
“Vista Las Palmas is one of the most popular neighborhoods because of its cohesive blend of all the various styles of midcentury modern architecture for which Palm Springs is known,” says Menrad. “The location and views of this home are amongst the finest in the neighborhood.”
