543 N Monterey Road, A Sunrise Oasis

This sophisticated 1,933-square-foot residence at 543 N Monterey Road presents a masterful study in contrasts—a simple and serene street presence that reveals a slick and stylish interior. Built by Jack Meiselman in 1960, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home showcases the elegance of midcentury post-and-beam architecture through its defining design element: an exposed horizontal beam that appears to float through the space, creating a dramatic visual statement that celebrates the structural honesty of the era.

The property offers a unique configuration with two master suites, each featuring jaw-dropping bathrooms that combine period style with contemporary luxury. The newly renovated kitchen seamlessly integrates into the living space while maintaining functional separation, featuring custom cabinetry, Jenn-Air appliances, and sleek Caesarstone countertops. Two fireplaces—one in the living room and another in one of the master bedrooms—add warmth and ambiance throughout the home.

Situated on a generous 10,459-square-foot lot, the property excels at indoor-outdoor living with a south-facing yard that frames amazing mountain views. The outdoor space features a new pool and spa by Architectural Blue, creating a resort-like setting perfect for entertaining or peaceful relaxation. The southern orientation ensures abundant natural light and optimal viewing of the surrounding mountain landscape throughout the day.

This architectural gem represents a must-see example of Meiselman’s work in central Palm Springs, where thoughtful modern updates enhance rather than compromise the home’s midcentury character.
