Property Description
ICONIC PALM SPRINGS. Here in Palm Springs we are always ready to have fun with fashion and kitsch, the things that are cool for now, but what we celebrate are the things that will stand the test of time and the amazing souls that make our fair city synonymous with their very being. The two most important categories for us are Mid-Century Modern and live music. This home epitomizes both of these. Today when people all over the world think of "Mid-Century" it is The Alexander Homes of Palm Springs they picture. We are offering a 3 bedroom, 2 bath Alexander home, on Alexander Way in the world famous Racquet Club Estates (Iconic in it's own right, seriously Google it). The home sits on a huge estate-sized corner lot (11,325sqft) with one of the most beautiful pools you will ever find, not to mention the many separate seating areas and perfect landscaping. The home still has original details but along the way it has seen its bathrooms updated and an incredible cooks kitchen installed. The rest of the home is your blank slate for bringing in today's design elements. This has been the home of two "Blues Hall Of Fame" music legends, Kal David and Lauri Bono. When they decided to make Palm Springs their full time home, some thirty years ago, they helped to usher in today's vibrant live music scene in the desert, helping take us from piano bars only to the wide mix of talented blues, jazz and mixed genres we have here today. Their "Blue Guitar" (on Palm Canyon, next to the Plaza Theater, also where you will find their star on the Walk Of Fame) was a destination for musicians from all over the world to not only play but interact with each other. Many of those musicians then spent time in this home writing music, remembering gigs with all the greats and eating that amazing Italian food Lauri created in that beautiful kitchen. Long before the world knew of the Alexander homes, Kal and Lauri entertained here, showing their love of and pride in, Palm Springs. This you your chance to own a perfectly placed Alexander Home with the very best of Mid-Century details and a past that holds a special place in the modern history of Palm Springs. The very definition of ICONIC.
