PALM SPRINGS, CA --When Elvis picked Look magazine’s
‘House of Tomorrow’ for his and Priscilla’s blissful 1967 honeymoon,
Elvis was already at his peak of popularity and could afford any honeymoon
location in the world, according to
Priscilla Presley |
His
favorite was a futuristic house in Palm Springs, which he leased for several
years, within commuting distance of Los Angeles and his career movie and
recording demands.
Thomas Andrew "Colonel Tom" Parker |
Still
looking much like it did when hosting the happy couple, the ‘House of Tomorrow’
is priced at $2.5 million.
Cyd Charisse |
Recommended to Elvis by his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, near Parker’s own home in Palm Springs, the mid-century-modern abode is an interesting example of the contemporary style for which the city is famous.
William Krisel |
Unlike the many boxy-shaped homes of the era, its curvilinear floor plan boosts it up a notch from its competitors. Looking much like our concept of the interior of a flying saucer back in the day, it was chosen by Look magazine in 1962 as their ‘House of Tomorrow.’
Peter Lawford |
Built in 1960 with 5,000 square feet of living
space, the house is built on a grade and is cantilevered, offering excellent
privacy for the main living areas.
Jackie Cooper |
The
design by modernist-architect William Krisel was built for the owner of
the home’s Vistas Las Palmas neighborhood construction company, created out of
four circular living areas on three levels with a curved wall of
stonework.
George Hamilton |
Deceivingly large, the home has five bedrooms
and five baths along with a spacious interior in the round, which gives it its
space age vibe.
A favorite mid-century feature is the
center-of-the-room fireplace with chimney suspended from the ceiling and walls
of glass overlooking its 1.16 acres.
Outside are a private garden, tennis court, orchard and a partly
shaded terraced swimming pool for lounging and outdoor barbecues.
President John F. Kennedy |
The Palm Springs neighborhood of Vistas Las
Palmas has been chosen by many celebrities over the years such as the Rat Pack
who partied hard at Peter Lawford’s home.
Scott Histed |
Jackie
Cooper and Cyd Charisse lived there as did George Hamilton. President John F. Kennedy was a frequent visitor to his brother-in-law Lawford’s home.
Priced at $2.5 million, the property is listed
by Scott Histed of Bennion Deville Homes, Rancho Mirage office.
