This 1961 Alexander home in Vista Las Palmas has been thoughtfully updated and is looking for a new owner.

The elongated midcentury facade of 946 W. Ceres Road is classic Palm Springs and features beautiful native landscaping by a local landscape architect.

From the mid-1950s to the early 1960s, the Alexander Construction Company built over 2,200 homes across the Coachella Valley.  946 W. Ceres Road is a beautifully updated 1,839-square-foot model that was built in 1961 by the father-son team. The three-bedroom, two-bath home located in the Vista Las Palmas neighborhood—just minutes away from downtown Palm Springs—has been thoughtfully updated throughout, while still maintaining much of its midcentury charm.

    Located in the Elysian Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, the residence and detached artist studio are positioned to perceptually inhabit the adjacent community garden, and present views of the downtown skyline and surrounding hills, in addition to carving out an introspective landscape for the enjoyment of the family. Organized as a staggered sectional volume distributing program over three levels, the residence is situated over the utilitarian spaces located at street level. Living spaces occupy the multi-level second floor with direct access to the outdoors via the front deck and the rear terrace, physically expanding the interior. The third floor, accessed by the expressed scissor stair, consists of the bedrooms and bathrooms. Strategically placed apertures around the residence and studio encourage the spatial reverberation and dialogue between the activities of the home and the multiple and diverse terraces, decks, balconies, and landscapes of the property.
