Stunning doesn’t begin to describe this 1960 Jack Meiselman “Butterfly” roof home in the highly sought-after Sunmor Estates neighborhood. Set on an expansive 0.27-acre lot (11,767 square feet), this three-bedroom, three-bath residence spans 1,560 square feet and showcases the dramatic upswept roofline that defines Meiselman’s most iconic butterfly designs.
Completely renovated in 2012 by its contractor-owners, this home masterfully balances breathtaking aesthetics with exceptional energy efficiency and cost-conscious operation. Every detail reflects expertise and environmental consciousness, creating an oasis that’s as responsible as it is beautiful.
The chef’s kitchen is a culinary dream, appointed with premium Thermador and KitchenAid appliances—including separate full-size refrigerator and freezer—custom cabinetry by Neil Kelly, and striking 100% recycled concrete countertops by Icestone. Three custom bathrooms feature meticulous tile work, elegant glass details, and innovative recycled glass shower floors and countertops. Throughout the home, new tile flooring and LED lighting enhance both beauty and efficiency.
The oversized outdoor space is an entertainer’s paradise. The fully renovated pool features an enchanting waterfall, while the spa provides soothing relaxation. An outdoor kitchen with sink and BBQ sits beneath a gorgeous steel-covered pool pavilion flanked by two natural gas fire pits—perfect for extending gatherings into cool desert evenings. Thoughtful planning includes sewer and electrical lines already run to the back of the property, ready for a future casita addition.
This rare butterfly roof Meiselman represents the perfect fusion of architectural pedigree, sustainable renovation practices, and resort-style living in one of Palm Springs’ most desirable enclaves.
