Want to know why this home for sale in California is so coveted? Just peek inside

A home that proves houses can have an abundance of charisma has landed on the real estate market in sunny Palm Springs, California — and it’s a 1950s stunner.

Known as Maison Bleue Moderne, this three-bedroom, four-bathroom residence has listed for $3.5 million in “the highly sought-after Vista Las Palmas neighborhood,” the listing on Coldwell Banker Realty notes.

“Designed by William Krisel and built by the Alexander Construction Company, this mid-century modern masterpiece has been featured in many prominent publications and was Modernism Week’s Featured Home in 2022,” listing agent Marianne Trintignac said in a news release. “This timeless turnkey home offers Palm Springs living at its finest.”

And the 2,301-square-foot house comes loaded with stylish amenities throughout including:

  • 40-foot windows

  • Large primary bedroom

  • Steam oven

  • Laundry room

  • Swimming pool

  • Spa

  • Fruit trees

  • Views

  • Lounge area

  • BBQ island

Along with it’s throwback exterior, the inside carries its own retro vibes with bursts of bright colors and impeccable style thanks to a famous decorator.

“The home’s interiors were designed by Michelle Boudreau, a local Palm Springs designer whose most recent project includes the Alexander Estate, known as the ‘House of Tomorrow’ and popularly as the Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned in 1967,” the news release noted.
