Oh My, It's a Meiselman! Prized by mid-century enthusiasts due to rare availability, this 1959 Jack Moyer designed residence in historic Racquet Club Estates perfectly captures the innovative spirit of desert modernism. Known as "Les Trois Palmes" named for the signature palms rising dramatically through the breezeway this home has been thoughtfully reimagined from the studs up, seamlessly blending 1950s soul with 21st-century luxury. From the street, the property makes a striking architectural impression with rare Meiselman hallmarks: sculpted concrete block, scored stucco, and textural decorative walls that stage a private, serene courtyard entry. Recognized twice with features on Palm Springs Modernism Week tours, this residence stands as a true celebrated showcase of authentic restoration. Inside, classic post-and-beam volume, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and polished concrete floors ground the open-concept design. Sunlight streams through clerestory windows framing views of the San Jacinto Mountains, while dual sliding glass doors collapse the boundary between inside and out. The original layout was modified to expand the great room into a spacious dining and seating area ideal for seamless entertaining (and easily converted back to a 3-bedroom setup if desired). The fully rebuilt modern kitchen and two sleek, updated baths bring sophisticated drama while honoring the home's original character. Designed for the California indoor-outdoor lifestyle, the rear yard is a private sanctuary. Float the day away in the newer automated pool, unwind in the spa beneath starry desert skies, or relax on the patio with integrated Bluetooth audio and curated landscape lighting. Smart infrastructure includes Nest-controlled HVAC, thermal-pane windows, digital entry, Frontier fiber-optic internet, and a fully monitored security system. Two designer "accessory sheds" with power and lighting offer the perfect setup for a workshop, art studio, or extra storage. Outside, web-controlled irrigation waters lush landscaping, planter pots, and fruit-producing edible olive trees. Situated on fee-simple land, even the address holds a romantic piece of desert lore as Berne Drive was lovingly named for Berne "Babe" Meiselman, Jack's wife, muse, and co-equal business partner. Just minutes from downtown Palm Springs, this isn't just an iconic architectural home; it's a love letter to desert modernism waiting for its next great love story.
