2263 E Terry Lane, Palm Springs

This home was built by Jack Meiselman as part of his Palm Lane Estates subdivision. It is a three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom residence built in 1957 as one of 49 parcels in the Palm Lane Estates development. The home has a total of 2,064 square feet of living space and features Meiselman’s characteristic use of sliding doors and walls of glass, maintaining the visual continuity between interior and exterior spaces that defines his approach to Desert Modernism.

The floor plan includes a living room, kitchen, breakfast room with wet bar, a separate convertible den, laundry/powder room, and an oversized two-car garage. While the home has been updated several times over the years, several original architectural details remain intact, including a semi-circular fireplace in the living room, double front doors, natural-finished tongue and groove ceilings, and the original kitchen cabinetry — elements that collectively preserve much of the home’s mid-century integrity.

The rear of the property features an oval pool and multiple patio areas, consistent with the period’s indoor-outdoor living aesthetic. Recorded infrastructure updates include new insulated copper water lines and gas pipes, a replacement water heater, pool replastering, a recoated foam roof, and renovations to the primary bathroom shower and vanity.

Sunrise Park Neighborhood

If Palm Springs was a greatest hits album, Sunrise Park would be Track 1. Centrally located and dripping with mid-century modern character, this neighborhood is where the Desert Modernism story really took root — tracing its origins back to the early 1950s, when it was called Desert Palms Estates.

What makes Sunrise Park so special is the architectural showdown baked right into its streets. The neighborhood’s MCM bones come courtesy of two titans of the era: the Alexander Construction Company and their competition — some say nemesis — Jack Meiselman. Walking the blocks, you’re essentially flipping between two distinct design philosophies, and honestly? Both win.

The homes here share some seriously iconic DNA: butterfly roofs, clerestory windows, and sculpted concrete block — the visual vocabulary of Desert Modernism in its purest form. Post-and-beam construction, floor-to-ceiling windows, and that signature indoor-outdoor flow make every single block feel like a design pilgrimage.

And the location? The neighborhood’s namesake park spans nearly 40 acres right through the community, while downtown Palm Springs is just minutes away, putting the city’s dining, shopping, and cultural scene well within reach. It’s the kind of neighborhood where you can grab a morning coffee, stroll past architectural masterworks, and still be back at your pool before the sun gets serious. Desert living doesn’t get much better than this.
