Description

Built in 1961 and hidden from the market for 43 years, this largely original three-bedroom, two-bath, 2,375 square foot Mid-Century Modern home is now available and seeking a thoughtful steward.Set on Palm View Road in the Tamarisk Country Club neighborhood, once home to four of the Marx Brothers, it sits among documented work by architects Val Powelson, William F. Cody, and William Krisel, including Gummo Marx's nearby residence and the Cody-designed Jaffe House, also on Palm View. This single-story post-and-beam house retains many classic original MCM features: indoor-outdoor block wall continuity, unpainted tongue-and-groove ceilings, clerestory and plate-glass windows that fill the home with light, an original front door with vintage hardware, original lighting fixtures, and wood paneling, to name a few.A signature sunken wet bar sits near the pool-access slider, acting as a social anchor to the west-facing patio. Mountain views frame a large pool with a classic diving board--a timeless scene for California pool days and evenings.The kitchen, with its own pool-access door, includes a large walk-in pantry and side-by-side washer and dryer. There is a large double carport, and the property has leased solar.This is a rare chance to own a mid-century modern home with much of its original character intact--quietly held by the same family for more than four decades in a historically significant Rancho Mirage neighborhood.
