Spencer Palms

About

PSID#34

Spencer Palms is a beautifully updated 3br/2ba midcentury modern home in Palm Springs’ famed Racquet Club neighborhood. Built by the renowned Alexander Construction Company in 1959 (Palmer & Krisel Architects), the home still maintains its original midcentury charm with its clean lines, open floor plan and natural light. Completely updated for today, Spencer Palms makes an awesome vacation home.

One of the most important features of a home in Palm Spring is its outdoor space. And in this regard, Spencer Palms does not disappoint. You'll find an expansive and well-manicured lawn, an enormous pool (33ft x 14ft), a six person above ground hot-tub, a gas fire pit with a comfy lounge area, a BBQ grill with its accompanying outdoor dining area, and stunning views of the majestic San Jacinto mountains.

Entering the home from the circular driveway, guests are greeted by a picturesque vision of Palm Springs in the 1950s, as original concrete breeze block walls flank the walkway to the front door – a unique, and Insta-worthy, enhancement to the classic Anderson home.

The social spaces of the home are lined almost entirely with glass, providing natural light and beautiful views. The living and dining areas, with original vaulted tongue and groove ceiling, are decorated in the spirit of a midcentury home, with a clean, comfortable, timeless style. A large sectional and armchairs provide ample room for the crew to sit around the fireplace or the wall-mounted 50" smart HDTV.

The kitchen has been finished with quartz countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and a large island with counter seating. A six-person oval dining table connects the living room and kitchen at the heart of the home, with beautiful views into the backyard, across the pool, up the palms, and across the mountain terrain.

In the private space are the home’s two guest bedrooms, a shared bathroom, and the primary suite. Each carefully designed guest room has a queen bed, large open closet, and individually controlled air conditioning system. The shared hall bathroom has a shower/tub combo and a skylight for added light. The primary suite also has a plush queen bed, a large closet, 43" TV, slider with access to a patio and yard, and an ensuite bath with original step-down Roman tub shower and a door out to the pool area.

If you need to “work from home” both the primary, and one of the guest bedrooms, have a desk.

Whether you're relaxing or entertaining, this home is sure to accommodate. Situated just a three-minute drive from downtown Palm Springs and walking distance to two different city parks, this is the ideal location for any family or group of friends.

Additional notes: W/D, pool floats, several outdoor chaise lounges and fully equipped kitchen, no garage access.
