2164 N Berne Drive, Palm Springs, California 92262

Welcome to 2164 N Berne Dr. On a quiet cul-de-sac named after Berne ”Babe” Meiselman, wife of well-known midcentury developer Jack Meiselman, sits this enclave of ten homes built by the Alexander Company (not Meiselman) and designed by architects Palmer & Krisel. The year was 1959 and this home was part of the most ambitious and largest development undertaken by the Alexander Company, Racquet Club Road Estates. 2164 N Berne is an example of the very elegant and streamlined ”flat-roof” model. Updated completely in 2022, the current owners added a bright red double door entry, a bold and perfectly syntonic update to the original. Once across the threshold of this formidable facade, the effect is stunning. A large great room with walls of glass offering sweeping views of the park-like backyard and pool. The open living space includes a brand new kitchen, cabinets, appliances and new L-shaped island. Also new throughout the home are sliders, windows, and 24×24 porcelain flooring. The bathrooms feature tiled wall treatments and all new fixtures. In the backyard, all concrete flatwork is newly poured, the landscape blends new plantings with mature trees, the original pool has been resurfaced and a 6′ block wall was added for maximal privacy.
