From the Agent: "Welcome to Twin Palms—a 1956 architectural home from Palmer & Krisel, AIA. Before William Krisel forever changed the design landscape in Palm Springs, he pioneered the quintessential midcentury vision in the valley of Los Angeles. Thoughtfully reenvisioned by costume designer Lindsey Vaniman in conjunction with LA-based design firm Ink & Wood, this home is brand new from top to bottom. Extensive upgrades include: a new energy-efficient cool roof, upgraded electrical work, custom-stained concrete floors, completely custom walnut kitchen cabinetry with counter seating, new xeriscape landscaping, fresh paint, lighting fixtures, and more. Full plumbing for a bonus exterior bathroom is also in place. Midcentury homes that are preserved and styled like this rarely come to market, so don’t miss this one!"
