Property Description
Own a piece of history, with this iconic butterfly Alexander model home for the Racquet Club Estates. The butterfly roofline offers high ceilings and open floor plan, lending an expansive feel. For the midcentury enthusiasts, this property was the "Model A1" and it is said that William Krisels wife was the interior designer. While preserving many of the beautiful architectural details of the original design like clerestory windows and post and beam construction, this property has been upgraded with modern amenities. Enjoy spectacular mountain views from the nearly 10,000 square foot lot with a spacious rear patio and southern exposure pool. This property was featured on the cover of The Alexander book which was photographed by the notable midcentury photographer Julius Shulman. The property is being sold turn-key furnished.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
