Live the creativity and wonder of Albert Frey, one of Palm Springs' most beloved architects. Bel Vista Residence #2 is a truly special property. On the eve of a new exhibition and publication on Frey, it's a rare opportunity to own an authentic, intact example of a single family home by one of Palm Springs' most important architects. A locally designated Class 1 Historic Site and on the National Register of Historic Places, the property has Mills Act and greatly reduced property taxes. Also listed as one of the 100 most important architectural sites in Palm Springs, it's a gem not to be missed. It is on a large corner lot in Movie Colony East with stunning mountain views throughout. A towering pine, a dozen varieties of citrus trees, stunning native plants, palm trees, and colorful seasonal wildflowers create an oasis of nature. A large covered patio/carport, views from the fire pit, great views from the lawn area, a sparkling pool & spa, and a horseshoe pit all make it a great place to enjoy the outdoors, events, entertain, or just relax. The restoration in 2016 included a new pool & spa (with wireless remote), new electrical panel, new foam roof, new HVAC, new hot water heater, new sprinkler system, painting, cork and polished concrete floors, and more. Exterior doors are dual-glazed and windows have laminated glass for greater safety and UV protection. A restored kitchen has original cabinetry and new custom tile work and a large 5.5'x9' separate laundry/utility room has lots of potential. It is a timeless representation of Frey's original 15-home Bel Vista tract and one of only three in an authentic, restored condition. The many windows and glass doors throughout bathe its interior spaces with abundant natural light. The original design celebrates Frey's innovative indoor/outdoor style. The only built tract designed by Frey, its International Style evokes his early aesthetic. Simple, clean, unchanged lines reflect its authenticity. The design promotes circulation and is ahead of its time in many ways. The curved block wall off the large laundry room preserves an original curvilinear element ever-present in his early work and a hallmark of Bel Vista homes. A new Frey-inspired corrugated metal fence complements an original one and surrounds the large yard, bringing privacy to its abundant outside spaces. A circular drive has space for multiple cars. Just blocks from stores, restaurants, a large park and so much more. The home is on fee land (no lease).
