The Trini Lopez Estate -- A Palm Springs Modernist Classic
Rare 1961 Palmer + Krisel Design by Alexander Construction. 4 bed | 5 bath plus casita with kitchenette. Incredible private backyard with mountain views.
AUCTION WITHOUT RESERVE. Rare Palmer and Krisel-designed 1961 modern home in Vista Las Palmas. Built by Alexander Construction, the iconic Trini Lopez Estate features a seldom-seen and preserved barrel-vaulted courtyard. This well-known celebrity home retains many original features including a stamped-brick façade, exposed beams, tongue and groove ceilings, Masonite and patterned cinderblock walls, original mirrored walls, built-in buffet, Hawaiian blanket breeze blocks, and 1961 pool and spa. Included in the 2,521 sf, there are 4 beds and 5 baths, plus a casita with kitchenette. It is a fine example of the era's cutting-edge architecture in Vista Las Palmas, which defined the Southern California Modernist style. The modernist design of the Lopez Estate creates seamless indoor/outdoor spaces taking advantage of soaring San Jacinto mountain views. Incredible use of site - the home sits higher than the neighbors behind, providing privacy and unobstructed mountain views. Trini Lopez owned the estate from 1968 until his passing in 2020, and used the casita as his personal office and music studio.
Walkable to downtown Palm Springs and sheltered from the prevailing winds by the mountains, Vista Las Palmas is warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer than nearby neighborhoods. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a truly special modernist classic home that is part of both entertainment and architectural history.
