In 1957 the Alexander Construction Company unveiled their brand new Twin Palms development to resounding success. Of the 9 elevations that architect William Krisel created to give variety to the street scape, unique amount them is the Long Gable which presents a massive custom rock facade to the street, while opening up to the private back yard with all glass walls that pinch the same rock applied to the fireplace. This is Krisel's interpretation of the classic ranch house. Additionally there is a new one bedroom one bath spacious casita that appears to have always been there. Inside the home has been throughly upgraded but retains Krisel's lovely central atrium which brings light into the center of the home. This home has every imaginable upgrade on the exterior too. Outdoor fire pit, fountain, built in BBQ, pool with spa and tanning shelf professional grade misters to cool and heaters for winter. You won't find a finer example, come let us show you this special home.
