Sandpiper Mid-Century jewel - Designed by William Krisel. Step into a meticulously preserved mid-century modern masterpiece in the heart of Palm Desert's iconic Sandpiper community. Designed by the legendary William Krisel and built in 1964, this three-bedroom, two-bath condominium (approx. 2,077 sq. ft.) stands as a pristine example of Desert Modernism at its finest--its original design thoughtfully maintained and celebrated. From the moment you enter, you're immersed in classic Krisel architecture: exposed concrete block walls, high ceilings, clerestory windows, light pouring into every room and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. There is beautiful porcelain tile flooring throughout living areas and baths with carpeting in the bedrooms. The kitchen features original wood-finished cabinetry married with quartz countertops with waterfall edges and gorgeous backsplash tile honoring the vintage feel. The bedrooms retain their original closet doors, while the bathrooms showcase authentic countertops, cabinetry with original pulls, and classic shower enclosures. This residence is a true time capsule, offering a glimpse into the elegance of mid-century living. Beyond the interiors, the private patio is an architectural treasure with original exposed pebble-finish concrete and desert-landscaping, a seating area with fire pit, and a dedicated outdoor laundry room. From the poolside patio, breathtaking southeastern mountain views complete the picture with a resort like pool area beautifully landscaped. This unit's historic significance is undeniable: it was photographed by Julius Shulman and prominently featured in the definitive William Krisel's Palm Springs (The Language of Modernism) book. Furthermore, it holds a historical designation and benefits from the Mills Act program, ensuring both its preservation and potential property tax benefits for its next owner. Mid-century purists and enthusiasts - opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. ***Buyers to verify through personal and professional inspections - square footage, lot size, permits, property boundary lines, and other information concerning the condition or features of the property provided by the Seller, obtained from public records, or other sources.
