Built in 1958, this iconic mid-century modern home features 'thoughtfully preserved original details' and some modern amenities like solar energy. While well-maintained and architecturally significant, the visible kitchen (Image 4) with older white cabinetry and appliances, along with the general aesthetic of 'preserved original details,' indicates that key areas like the kitchen and likely bathrooms are outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current quality and style standards. The hardwood floors appear to be in good condition, and the overall property is clearly well-kept, but it does not reflect a recent, comprehensive renovation to modern tastes.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 16988, living area = 2562.
Architectural Masterpiece: A rare 1958 Charles Du Bois A-Frame 'Swiss Miss' design, recognized as an iconic mid-century modern retreat and an unparalleled piece of Palm Springs history.
Exclusive Rarity: One of only 15 'Swiss Miss' homes remaining, and the sole property featuring an architecturally matching guesthouse, originally designed as an art studio, adding significant unique value.
Breathtaking Views & Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Vista Las Palmas subdivision, offering expansive and breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountains and open desert skies.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living: Floor-to-ceiling glass walls create a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, complemented by a private pool and a large, private yard perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
Preserved Charm with Modernity: The property boasts thoughtfully preserved original architectural details while incorporating modern amenities, including an efficient solar energy system.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The current list price of $3.295M is substantially higher than the estimated property value of $2.325M, suggesting a potential overvaluation or a premium for its unique architectural status not fully captured by standard estimations.
Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1958, the property is over 65 years old. While details are preserved, older homes can often require more frequent maintenance or updates to core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) beyond the mentioned solar energy.
Niche Market Appeal: Its highly specific and rare architectural style, while a strength for uniqueness, may appeal to a more niche buyer demographic, potentially leading to a longer market time compared to more broadly appealing properties.
