Donald Wexler Homes: Midcentury Modern Architect's Palm Hills Mansion On Sale for $1.75M

The mansion owned by the late Donald Wexler located in Palm Springs in California is now on sale with a price tag of $1.75 million. The Palm Spring mansion is a single-story family estate which was designed by Wexler himself, who is known to be a mid-century modern architect, a report from LA Times said on Thursday.

Wexler's mansion was built in 1955, and his family lived there for 38 years. The post-and beam expansion of the house in 1960 and the restorations made in 2008 were all done by Wexler.  

The whole property sits on a 12,632-square-foot lot while the size of the house is estimated to be 2,424 square feet. The family estate has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. IT features floor-to-ceiling glass walls, wide overhangs and doors that open to terraces, and a saltwater swimming pool, among others.

Home buyers will surely be lured to the property's spacious open living room and dining room. The house has a complete set of "stainless-steel appliances, den/office, breakfast area, terrazzo floors, patio, perimeter privacy wall and mountain views."

"The sublime three-bedroom, 2,424-square-foot residence sits behind a privacy wall and features gorgeous landscaping work by William Kopelk and Marcello Villano. Inside, the L-shaped home looks ultra polished with terrazo floors, restored beams, updated furnishings, and large glass walls connecting rooms to outside terraces and a saltwater pool," Curbed said.

"The median sale price for single-family homes in the 92262 ZIP Code in September was $470,000 based on 34 sales. That was a 10.6% decrease in median price from September 2014," LA Times said, citing a report from CoreLogic.

Donald Wexler is considered to be the founding father of Palm Springs modernism.  He passed away in June this year. He was 89. Wexler has been instrumental in assisting homeowners in Palm Springs in renovating their homes.
