Property Description

Discover the magnificent Glass and Steel House #1, designed by Donald Wexler and Ric Harrison, and built by the Alexander Construction Company in 1962. Only seven of these incredible homes were built and constructed with materials both factory-fabricated and on-site assembled, specifically selected to withstand the desert elements with ease. Eight-foot stationary glass panels and sliding glass doors are flanked by steel construction, offering both visual interest and remarkable mountain views. This home is one out of only two boasting the signature folded-plate roof line, which gives this property its iconic, sought-after aesthetic. Wexler himself consulted on the tasteful restoration of this property, making it one of his last projects. Enter to a foyer which to the left leads to a formal dining and living area with an outdoor patio, and to the right, leads to the den off the large, private backyard with an iconic boomerang-shaped pool. Both living areas, separated by the open kitchen, showcase the unique interior ceiling and mountain views through the ample glass and triangular clerestory windows. Walk down the hall to discover a bright guest room with mountain views and patio access, a guest bathroom with a laundry area, and the main bedroom which also boasts views, outdoor access, and an en-suite full bath. List of recent improvements include whole house soft water system, updated landscape irrigation, air purifier integrated with HVAC system, roof recoated in 2021 (with 5 year warranty), resurfaced pool with PebbleTec, new pool saltwater system, light, pump, and heater. The property is available with vintage midcentury furnishing (for purchase outside of escrow). Last but not least, this stunning home holds a class 1 historical designation which allows you to take advantage of a property tax reduction via the Mills Act. Contact agent for more info.
