The original 1956 Palm Springs building permit for this Sunmor home shows a 4 bedroom, 3 bath, 2,400+ square foot home being constructed by Robert Higgins, a well know Mid-Century builder at the time, designed by Harrison & Wexler – Don Wexler, Architect. Higgins was the co-owner of the local hardware and building store with actor Alan Ladd in Palm Springs. Sands Realty was the original real estate company that sold the Sunmor track. The Sands Realty office was in a 1955 Higgins built home at 2821 Livmor Avenue, now a Class 1 Historic Designated home. A bold move, for sure by ”Bob” Higgins to build such a large and predominate home at the time. Only two owners including the current, have owned the home over the years. A historic time capsule waits for its new owners. This is a rare opportunity to own a slice of history, preserve and bring back to life this classic gem. The original steel casement windows and sliders still exist including lots of built-in midcentury cabinets. The fireplace is framed in petrified wood. This home has not been remodeled or its footprint changed since constructed except for a laundry room being added in the carport in 1974, a block wall installed facing Livmor Avenue in 1976 and a block wall creating a courtyard entrance to home in 1985. The house maintains its original integrity via form, structure, and plan. Note: you will notice in the photos one bedroom wall has a ”brick” look. This is wallpaper and not actual brick.
