Property Description

Transform a Krisel designed residence in the iconic Canyon View Estates community in South Palm Springs. Known for defining the Palm Springs modernist movement, architect William Krisel created homes celebrated for their distinctive rooflines, clerestory windows, and seamless connection to the desert environment, all of which are present in this unique property.Offering approximately 2,000 square feet of living space, this is one of the larger condos within the community, providing generous room sizes and a sense of volume that's increasingly rare to find in Canyon View Estates at this price level.The current interiors reflect an extensive custom design, featuring substantial mahogany and walnut millwork, limestone flooring, and detailed craftsmanship throughout the home. For the next owner, this presents an opportunity to shape the space according to their own vision, whether by preserving elements of the existing design or by simplifying and restoring the home to a more traditional midcentury modern aesthetic.The layout includes multiple living and gathering areas, a den with Murphy bed, and a converted carport now used as a third bedroom. This configuration offers flexibility for future changes, including the possibility of restoring the original covered parking, subject to HOA guidelines.Canyon View Estates remains one of Palm Springs' most recognized midcentury modern communities, valued for its architectural heritage, landscaped grounds, community pools, and dramatic mountain views. The neighborhood continues to attract buyers who appreciate design, history, and the opportunity to create something truly their own. Located in the least windy part of town. This is a rare offering for buyers who value architectural character and are prepared to undertake a thoughtful transformation that reflects their own vision and lifestyle.
