This distinctive 1,594-square-foot residence at 649 N Farrell Drive showcases the exceptional design and construction craftsmanship of Jack Meiselman. Built in 1960, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home stands out with its attached casita and abundant midcentury charm, all situated on a generous 10,459-square-foot lot.
The home’s architectural features include classic tongue-and-groove ceilings and an open-plan main living space that maximizes the spectacular mountain views. Slate floors flow seamlessly from the interior through the patios and walkways, creating visual continuity throughout the property. Each bedroom provides direct slider door access to the backyard, epitomizing the indoor-outdoor living philosophy that defines Palm Springs midcentury design while flooding the spaces with natural light.
The outdoor area is truly exceptional, with optimal west-facing orientation toward Mt. San Jacinto. A large mountain-facing pool serves as the centerpiece for relaxation and entertainment, enhanced by tropical tiki details that create a resort-like atmosphere perfect for gatherings. The private casita, complete with its own bathroom, offers versatile space for guests or can serve as a home office, studio, or additional living quarters. The property’s substantial yard provides ample room for outdoor enjoyment against the dramatic backdrop of the San Jacinto Mountains.
The home changed hands in February 2024, marking a new chapter in its story.
