House-hunters searching for a bargain among midcentury modern time capsule opportunities will want to have a look at this Palm Springs-area residence.

The Cree House is back on the open market this winter…and looking very appealing indeed to those potential buyers staring down the barrel of four months of cold weather. The home’s most recent price snip leaves it asking $1.85 million, down nearly 20% from its initial ask, and that’s a sunny proposition too.

The two-bed, two-bath house spans 1,124 sq. ft. indoors, but its large elevated deck adds around 400 sq. ft. to the total. The home’s setting is more expansive: it sits on 8.28 acres, enough room to establish a significant privacy buffer, one that makes this home’s lifestyle really sing.

The centerpiece of the living area is the native stone fireplace accent wall, a textural and naturalistic flourish which both grounds the home firmly in its landscape, and brings earthy, rustic charm to the interiors. The glass that lines the walls sets up the desirable transparency of the modern style, effectively merging the living style with the place itself, and bringing the San Jacinto Mountains into the décor.

One of the home’s most curious features is a three-door, eye-level refrigerator—a precious relic from an era marked by experimentation.

The Cree House hadn’t come up for sale in decades when it appeared a few years ago. It remains a positive bargain for devotees of midcentury style, and the optimistic, socially oriented, forward-thinking atmosphere that is its foundation.
