MID-CENTURY MODERN ICON IN THE HISTORIC MESADesigned and built in 1967 by renowned local architect Jerry Jakway, this exceptional custom residence embodies the spirit and originality of true mid-century modern design. Jakway, who developed several notable homes throughout The Mesa, selected this prime elevated site in the Upper Mesa as his personal residence--drawn by its dramatic, close-range mountain vistas and serene setting.From the backyard, the home feels beautifully embraced by nature, with the majestic San Jacinto Mountains rising to the west and the Santa Rosa Mountains stretching to the south--an awe-inspiring and ever-present backdrop. This stunning backyard setting is complete with newly plastered pool, re-surfaced cool decking, outdoor kitchen & Japanese Tea House pavilion. Inside, the home reveals a thoughtfully composed architectural layout featuring angled living spaces anchored by a striking curved central wall that elegantly separates the living and sleeping areas. Authentic adobe blocks sourced from Tecate, Mexico were used to craft both the sculptural curved wall and the fireplace, adding warmth, texture, and historic character.Clerestory windows flood the interior with natural light while framing sweeping mountain views, further blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living.A rare and one-of-a-kind architectural masterwork, this home offers timeless design, historical significance, and an irreplaceable setting--located in one of Palm Springs' most coveted and prestigious neighborhoods: The Mesa.
