From the Agent: "This was the custom family home built for Robert and Helene Alexander of the famed Alexander construction company. Look magazine visited in 1962 for a peek into the futuristic design, declaring it the ‘House Of Tomorrow.’ The spaceship-like dynamic winged roofline shelters four circular pods, with the center of the house fanning out from the dramatic stepped waterfall. The entry path through carved wood, double-height entry doors ushers you to a sunken party pad of angular stacked stoned walls, glass, and a low-slung curved upholstered banquet embracing a futuristic steel beaker-shaped fireplace hood and floating hearth. Elvis Presley celebrated his honeymoon here in 1967, giving the home one of its names, the ‘Elvis Honeymoon Hideaway.’"
Set in the trendy Vista Las Palmas neighborhood, the restored midcentury is recognized for being the largest Alexander-built home—as well as the residence with the largest pool.
A rock wall encompasses the living room, which also features floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead to a covered, poolside dining area.
A beaker-shaped fireplace hood divides the main living area and raised dining platform. The adjacent kitchen continues the room’s circular theme, featuring a round island.
A sleek primary suite is located on the upper level. In addition to panoramic views, this wing of the home comes with a generously sized dressing area and bathroom, as well as original built-in wardrobe closets centered around a circular tub.
Each of the four bedrooms has an en suite bath, and two of the rooms share an exterior terrace.
