PALM SPRINGS, CA — A star-studded mid-century modern gem, once home to honeymooners Elvis and Priscilla Presley, has hit the market in Palm Springs and it’s going for a whopping $9 million.
The home was built in 1960 by William Krisel originally for Robert and Helene Alexander of the famed Alexander Construction Company.
Dubbed The House of Tomorrow in a 1962 issue of Look Magazine, the desert home was conceived as a daring, spaceship-like retreat that pushed the boundaries of 1960s modernism. In 1967, the property gained even more notoriety when the Presleys leased it for their honeymoon, securing its place in pop culture history as the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway.
The interior is a mid-century dream, centered around a sunken party lounge with stacked stone walls, a futuristic floating fireplace and a curved banquette. A raised dining platform leads to a custom circular kitchen, while a private den boasts its own fireplace.
Glass walls open to an expansive terrace with a sparkling pool and mountain views. Upstairs, you’ll find a lavish primary suite — accessible by a grand staircase — featuring a panoramic glass perch, an intimate balcony, and a circular soaking tub surrounded by built-in wardrobe closets. There are three additional en-suite bedrooms, two of which share an exterior terrace.
In 2021, the house underwent a meticulous restoration, reclaiming its original terrazzo floors and signature stonework, earning it a “Class-One historic designation,” according to a Compass listing. Further high-end updates in 2023 elevated the home’s luxury while preserving its architectural integrity.
Now offered fully furnished, this iconic estate is available to a buyer who meets qualification requirements, including proof of funds or lender verification.
For those who have enough in the bank to acquire a rare piece of architectural and cultural history, — this iconic property is up for grabs.
