A Palm Springs Alexander Construction with Mountain Views Lists for $1.9M

ByMyProperty Life

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.

  • Salt Spring Island Residence 2

    This project was commissioned by a couple living in Vancouver who fell in love with Salt Spring Island (as many do) and decided to build their dream home on a beautiful high-bank waterfront lot overlooking views of Sansum Narrows and Vancouver Island beyond. The clients had an affinity for mid-century modern design and requested that the house be reminiscent of that style. As one ascends the driveway an accessory building presents itself containing a garage and studio. A path leads from the accessory building to the house which is nestled into a rocky hill and surrounded by several large arbutus trees. The house is a U shape plan framing a courtyard overlooking the ocean. Living spaces are arranged at the centre or bottom of the U with 2 sleeping wings on either side projecting toward the ocean. Both the house and accessory building are clad in black vertical wood siding and protected by flat roofs with generous overhangs. Large sliding glass doors provide seamless transitions from inside to outside and maximize the natural light. Walnut flooring and cabinetry are featured throughout the home to provide a richness and warmth. This home is a tranquil setting to light a fire, have some wine, and watch the eagles soar in front of a backdrop of pacific north-west magic.
