This Palmer and Krisel home built by the Alexander Construction company in 1958 has been meticulously restored with an authentic mid-century sensibility. The house sits at the edge of the Little Beverly Hills neighborhood and has fantastic views across the adjacent Prescott preserve to the San Jacinto Mountains. Expanded from its original floorplan the primary bedroom and guest bedroom have 8 additional feet of length. Restored tongue and groove paneled ceilings lie between the chocolate brown beams of this flat-roofed home. Clerestory windows were added between the beams of the living area and primary bedroom to enhance the architecture and allow outside light to skim the ceiling. The back side of the home has walls of glass and sliding doors that invite one out to the classic rounded rectangle pool and expanded covered patio. The Kitchen and baths have all been updated with period appropriate materials. This home has only had two owners and awaits its third to enjoy its mid-century goodness. The home has three bedrooms and two baths and a detached bonus room that could be an office or pool cabana. With its original qualities and newer tankless water heater and HVAC systems, this is the place!

Spectacular mountain views from the front and back of this mid-century Palmer Krisel pool home in Little Beverly Hills, built by the Alexanders in 1958. Construction is classic post and beam, with fireplace in living room. Owner (since 1959) added approx. 8' of length to the original home creating a large walk-in closet in the master and additional space in the second bedroom. Kitchen has granite counters and newer kitchen appliances. The store room attached to the carport was extended as well to create a bonus room which would be a perfect art studio, craft room or office. Home is very well maintained and was re-plumbed in the 2000's. There's a newer foam roof and A/C compressor.
