Property Description

The iconic Big Boy Estate offers a rare opportunity to experience the quintessential Palm Springs lifestyle in one of the city's most celebrated architectural neighborhoods.Designed by renowned architect William Krisel and built in 1958 by the Alexander Company for Bob Wian, founder of the Bob's Big Boy burger chain, this historic Mid-Century property blends architectural pedigree, celebrity provenance, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.Located in the prestigious and historic Vista Las Palmas community, the home sits among some of Palm Springs' most famous examples of mid-century modern design. The neighborhood is known for its iconic architecture, stunning mountain backdrops, and storied celebrity past.With 3,076 sq ft of living space, the Big Boy Estate represents one of the larger Alexander floor plans. The property features 3 spacious bedrooms and 2 baths in the main house, along with 3 separate casitas--each with its own ensuite bath and private entrance. Furnished with wonderful art and period-correct pieces throughout, the home offers an authentic mid-century atmosphere. Upon entering the front door, the view opens straight through to the garden and pool, immediately announcing relaxation and fun.Set on a generous 16,988 sq ft lot, the estate's house and casitas create a magical setting that easily accommodates multi-generational living, large gatherings, or intimate stays. The Big Boy Estate has also been an award-winning, personally managed active short-term rental, helping offset family use, with the opportunity to continue this currently in place. The property is within easy biking distance of lively downtown Palm Springs.Behind the walled and beautifully landscaped grounds lies a sparkling saltwater pool, spa, putting green, and expansive gardens. Towering palms frame breathtaking panoramic mountain views while birdsong fills the quiet morning air.The open floor plan features terrazzo stone floors, glass sliders, and a central stone fireplace, while clerestory transom windows create beautiful light and sightlines throughout the home.Turnkey furnished in classic Mid-Century style, every detail of this property has been meticulously cared for. Since purchasing the home in 2017, the current owners have completed multiple upgrades to thoughtfully preserve the Krisel vision while adding modern comforts. The Big Boy Estate seamlessly combines the charm and character of classic modernist architecture with today's high-tech conveniences.
