Modernist architecture is exemplified in this early mid-century 3 Bed/Bath custom home. Designed by architect, Herbert W Burns, AIA, (who designed the Orbit Inn) the home features an infusion of his signature elegant design elements: low, pitched horizontal roof lines with deep overhangs, floating interior soffits, extended thin brick decorative walls & planter details, plus a built-in wall clock. Burns embraces a flow between indoor & outdoor living, with floors that sit flat to the land, glass walls, natural materials and a soft desert color palette. A spacious living room is surrounded by windows on 3 sides, and anchored by a stunning stone clad fireplace, the centerpiece of the room. The enclosed sun room opens out to an intimate garden with stone BBQ, one of the home's many highlights. Bathrooms have been graciously updated with contemporary tile. This is a rare opportunity to own an architectural signature property that represents an early era of Palm Spring resort living.
