Property Description

ICONIC MID-CENTURY BUTTERFLY ALEXANDER | RACQUET CLUB ESTATESA striking example of Palm Springs' celebrated mid-century modern architecture, this iconic Butterfly Alexander residence with a architecturally distinctive stone facade front embodies the era's defining principles of indoor-outdoor living, dramatic geometry, and seamless connection to the desert landscape. Set on a private cul-de-sac in Racquet Club Estates, this impeccably maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom architectural gem is distinguished by soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive walls of glass, architectural breeze blocks, and a south-facing backyard with breathtaking views of Mt. San Jacinto. A signature orange-framed frosted-glass entry opens to the iconic breezeway, connecting the main residence to the carport and extending the architectural axis toward the backyard. The bright great room features a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, custom lighting, tile floors, and expansive glass that frames the pool and mountain views. The kitchen pairs period character with modern finishes, offering wood cabinetry, Quartz countertops, stainless appliances, gas cooktop, and a detached island ideal for entertaining. The vaulted primary suite features clerestory windows, direct outdoor access, and a private bath, while the secondary bedrooms echo the home's signature architectural details. Recent improvements include dual-pane windows, refoamed roof, tankless water heater, fresh exterior paint, whole-house surge protection, Moen water monitor, and a 2022 HVAC system. No land lease or HOA fees. Architecturally significant and unmistakably Palm Springs, this Butterfly Alexander is a beautifully preserved expression of desert modernism with exceptional privacy, design, and mountain views.
