Welcome to a meticulously restored home by acclaimed architect Albert Frey. Set amidst a citrus grove and native plantings on a large corner lot of nearly 10,000sf in central Palm Springs, it is on fee land you own (no lease). It is one of only a handful of Frey’s houses with the premiere honor of being listed on the National Register. Additionally, it is a Class 1 Historic Site with Mills Act and benefits from substantially reduced property taxes. Listed as one of the city’s 100 most important architectural sites, the 15 homes of Bel Vista are based on a design Frey originally created for the U.S. Government in the mid-thirties. The only realized housing tract designed by Frey and the City’s first early-modern neighborhood, it evokes International Style architecture. Restored to the original color palette, it brings to life a joyful celebration of Frey’s aesthetic while the purity of its design reflects his consummate body of work – from his early practice designing multifamily housing in Europe and his ideas for the Aluminaire House as a mass-produced housing solution, to his work for the U.S. Government designing a low-cost house solution that would become the foundation of the design for Bel Vista. Frey melded his experience together for the home’s design. An important part of his body of work and ahead of its time in many ways, the numerous windows and two-light glass doors throughout present a bold contrast to postwar housing norms and bathe its rooms in an abundance of natural light. A bright indoor/outdoor style comes to life in every room. Outside, an original curved block wall off the large laundry room preserves a dynamic curvilinear element omnipresent in his work. A Frey-inspired corrugated metal fence brings privacy to the large yard. Additional amenities include great mountain views, mature pine, palm and fruit trees, a regulation horseshoe pit, a large covered patio and more. Restored with an integrity not often seen, including the original kitchen cabinetry, the home also has cork and polished concrete floors, a new copper water line from meter, a new main sewer line. In 2016 the home received a new electrical panel, new pool and spa, new foam roof, new central air and new automated sprinkler system. The subject of an upcoming new book and museum show, Albert Frey is one of Palm Springs’ most important architects – his legacy is hard to overstate. Don’t miss this opportunity to own an important part of Palm Springs’ architectural heritage.
