Located in the iconic Racquet Club Estates neighborhood, this 1959 Alexander-built residence offers a rare opportunity to own a published piece of Palm Springs mid-century design history. Featured in both Atomic Ranch and Shelter magazines, the home celebrates the architectural legacy that helped define Palm Springs' modernist identity. Updated in 2018 with careful attention to maintaining its architectural integrity, the home blends authentic mid-century design with modern comfort, including updated systems and appliances replaced in 2019. A detached casita with its own living space and kitchenette adds immediate flexibility, ideal for visiting guests, a private studio, or extended stays while maintaining separation from the main residence. Designed to reflect the spirit of the era, the interiors showcase a cohesive mid-century aesthetic with vintage elements and carefully selected period-correct replicas throughout, while bold patterns, textures, and era-inspired materials create a true Palm Springs time-capsule experience. The classic mid-century layout emphasizes indoor-outdoor living, with large windows and sliding glass doors opening to a private backyard oasis where the pool, hot tub and patio create a secluded outdoor retreat, surrounded by mature hedging that enhances privacy and helps create a calm, sheltered environment. Outdoor features include newly installed turf, a functional outdoor fireplace, and a unique outdoor soaking tub and shower, creating multiple spaces to relax and entertain. The property is offered furnished, allowing for an immediate and seamless transition into the Palm Springs lifestyle. Situated in one of Palm Springs' most celebrated mid-century neighborhoods, Racquet Club Estates was developed in the late 1950s by the Alexander Construction Company and remains one of the largest concentrations of classic modernist homes in the city, making 2101 N Berne a rare opportunity to own a meticulously maintained and thoughtfully executed example of Palm Springs' modernist heritage.
