The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 19200, living area = 2187.
Designed by renowned architect Donald Wexler, this rare Desert Modern Ranch offers significant historical value and iconic mid-century aesthetic appeal that is highly sought after by collectors.
The expansive backyard features a unique dual-pool setup, including a dedicated lap pool and a Japanese onsen-inspired heated pool, creating a private and tranquil outdoor retreat.
