290 E Simms Rd Introducing Steel House Number 1, a mid-century modern masterpiece by architects Donald Wexler and Richard Harrison. Built in the early 1960s by the Alexander Construction Company, this historic home is one of only seven steel houses and one of just two featuring the signature folded-plate roofline that defines its iconic aesthetic. Located in Palm Springs' Racquet Club Road Estates, this home was part of an ambitious plan to create low-maintenance, prefabricated steel houses designed to withstand desert conditions resisting warping, pests, earthquakes, and fire. Sixty years on, the steel framing remains structurally sound, testifying to its innovative construction.In 2014, Wexler himself was consulted during the tasteful restoration. Iconic features like eight-foot glass panels, sliding doors, and clerestory windows have been preserved, offering remarkable mountain views and visual interest throughout.Inside, an open floor plan features formal living and dining areas, a den overlooking a private backyard with a heated saltwater boomerang-shaped pool, and an open kitchen ideal for entertaining. The home boasts two spacious bedrooms, perfect for hosting guests, both offering mountain views and direct outdoor access. The main bedroom includes an en-suite bath, while the guest room provides comfort and privacy for visitors. Abundant indoor/outdoor living spaces allow you to fully enjoy the desert climate. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors seamlessly blend the interior with outdoor patios, perfect for relaxation and social gatherings. Situated in vibrant Palm Springs, this home offers both tranquillity and adventure, with world-class amenities moments away. Steel House Number 1 is a rare opportunity to own a desert gem, a testament to visionary architecture awaiting its next chapter.
