A Darling Midcentury Looker in Palm Desert Lists for $600K
New to the market in Palm Desert, California, is a restored 1950s time capsule with charismatic curb appeal. Set on a spacious, landscaped lot dotted with palm trees, the two-bedroom, two-bath home features a delightfully pink exterior. Inside, the fun continues throughout the 1,400-square-foot, post-and-beam interior.
Located in the heart of Palm Desert, California, the 1956 property at 72862 Parkview Drive features a large, covered carport. The wood-clad ceiling is repeated inside the home.
An open floor plan connects the main living spaces, which are subtilely separated by V-shaped support beams. Paneling along the walls complement the wood-clad ceilings.
The single-level residence was recently treated to a tasteful remodel, which modernized the home while maintaining a vintage vibe. New flooring and windows were added throughout the open-concept layout, as well as ubiquitous wood ceilings. Stone tile flooring was also added to provide continuity throughout the new interior.
Wall-to-wall sliding glass doors open the living room to the backyard patio, while also framing views of the pool. Globe pendant lights enhance the home's vintage flair.
A restored concrete block fireplace offers warmth and coziness in the living room.
To emulate the home's midcentury past, restored vintage appliances were installed in the kitchen, along with wood cabinets and white countertops. Other fixtures and finishes add to the midcentury modern aesthetic. Scroll ahead to see more of the two-bedroom home, which is currently listed for $600,000.
While the kitchen was also remodeled as part of the renovation, vintage appliances and fixtures were chosen to emulate its original appearance. Solid wood cabinets add to the look while providing ample storage.
Adjacent to the kitchen and living room, a spacious area is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glass. The transparent walls beckon a visit outside.
The post-and-beam skeleton also stretches outward to form the covered outdoor area. The shaded area—perfect for gathering and entertaining—seamlessly flows onto the poolside patio.
