This gloriously restored and reimagined 1954 William Krisel mid-century modern pool home exudes the essence of the era. Before revolutionizing Palm Springs’ architectural landscape with the first ‘Alexander Home’ in 1956, Mid-Century Modern pioneer William Krisel honed his craft right here in the San Fernando Valley, designing a wide variety of homes which have only grown in popularity since their debut. ‘The Delco’, as it’s currently known, pays tribute to Krisel’s vision. This gem has undergone a multi-year renovation and ‘reimagining’ while maintaining its signature Mid-Century elements. This update included: New air conditioning, electrical panel replacement, electric blinds in primary bedroom, pool fence, pool pump replacement, tankless water heater, irrigation system. The owners have supplemented the home with bold new features and enhancements. The end result is a resort-style retreat overflowing with inherent character. From the street, passersby frequently pause to take in the dramatic landscape display built around the restored Porte Cochere. Framed by a custom-built screen block wall evocative of Palm Springs’ Parker resort. The elaborate desert garden features ripple-like concrete rings radiating out from a central fountain. Inside, the three-bedroom two-bathroom ‘post-and-beam’ interior has been radically transformed with Hollywood Regency-inspired design elements, in addition to a modernization to much of its original infrastructure. Original period elements, including a small garden box and fireplace, remain whereas other features, such as the kitchen and bathrooms, have been upgraded to keep pace with the times. Don't wait, as this one won't last long.
