Designed by Architects, Built by Master Builders for Permanent Value,'' boasts an ad from the Alexander Construction Company's early marketing material in 1955. This mantra has stood the test of time as evidenced in one of the original designs by architect William Krisel, partner in the LA firm Palmer and Krisel, Inc. Built in 1957, this single level 3 bed 2 bath measures just under 2,000 sq.ft. of interior floor space under the hallmark design of the whimsical butterfly style roof and boasts a large corner lot of over 11,000 sq.ft. Situated in the Twin Palms area of south Palm Springs, and named for the two palm trees included in the original landscape package of each home, this neighborhood established the template for all Alexander built houses to follow. Purchased in 2004 by an enthusiast of mid-century architecture, the property has been in queue to receive a purist renovation. A blank canvas awaits a new owner eager to nurture the metamorphosis of this sleeping beauty.
