Light and bright with stunning floor to ceiling windows, this truly iconic mid-century modern home is an amazing example of indoor-outdoor architecture. Located on a very quiet street in Twin Palms neighborhood in central Palm Springs, which is dog friendly and very walkable. Designed by William Krisel and once owned by the famous science fiction author Ray Bradbury. The stunning 1957 design showcase home offers indoor-outdoor living with floor-to-ceiling as well as clerestory windows in almost every room.

The home has been published many times and photographed by Julius Shulman the famous mid-century architecture photographer. Located in the quiet and very walkable neighborhood called Twin Palms, this architectural gem has been featured in Palm Spring’s Modernism Week architectural tours and published in several publications, including Modernism Rediscovered. It has also been published in Modern Mechanics magazine (1958) as "The House of Tomorrow" showcasing Post Modernism design. In addition, NPR recently featured the home in an article on William Krisel, the architect who brought mid-century modern architecture to the masses... helping make Palm Springs what it is today.
