Description

This fabulous mid-century, once home to Lawrence Welk, is located in the El Mirador neighborhood of Palm Springs and is just under 2,800 sq.ft.. This 3br/3ba sits on over a third of an acre. Originally built in 1952 and lovingly restored by a local preservationist, the extensive restoration includes a new roof, plumbing and electrical. Many new windows and doors were installed to match originals. Beautiful, poured terrazzo floors accentuate the warm mid-century vibe. The kitchen includes St. Charles cabinets, modern counters and appliances. Bathrooms feature original and vintage fixtures alongside modern counters and cabinets. The house takes maximum advantage of stunning southwest mountain views from nearly every room, as well as the private front yard, patio, pool and spa. The backyard was transformed into a sculptural cactus garden with a lounge area surrounding a gas fire pit. The Welk Residence is designated as a Class 1 historic property and benefits from the Mills Act.
