A meticulous and much appreciated restoration. Long-term residents of Racquet Club Estates are nothing short of amazed that this particular Alexander home would appear on the Mid-Century Modern Homes Tour. For many years this residence stood forgotten and neglected...as time and the elements took a major toll. Today, thanks to the vision of Scott Cullens, a general contractor and owner of Palm Pacific Construction, which specializes in renovations of mid-century modern properties. This home can now boast itself as one of the most pristine examples of a flat-roofed Alexander within Racquet Club Estates. Scott had a great purist conviction in all of his restorative efforts to stay within the vernacular of the original materials and design of William Krisel. When viewed from the street, this home---with its low-slung roofline, crisp white stucco, and sleek original design---exude a comfortable elegance. Adding to the feel, landscaping of minimalist design and the contrast of the dark decomposed granite that covers the ground surface. Scott elected with various elements of the house that had extreme condition issues to bring these areas back to original. An exterior window shade structure was removed and recreated to original design and materials. The carport surround was rebuilt to the same standard. One non-original addition to the home, a screen element constructed of wood at the atrium's face, was interesting in design but poor in condition. The screen was redone in new materials. Inside, the sleek and elegant feeling continues. Original height dividing walls separate the kitchen and entry hall. Furnishings are comfortable and orient well with the Alexander fireplace and windows to the outside. Polished porcelain floors provide a clean look. Kitchen amenities are updated with new materials such as Walker Zanger tiles and Cesarstone countertops. Baths are updated in the same manner, again with Walker Zanger tiling and European fixtures. The backyard and pool area are viewed from a dramatic window wall. Attached to the rear of the home is a useful and complimenting tongue and groove patio cover that offers protection from the elements. Adjacent is the homes' original pool. Scott took advantage of the deteriorated condition of the pool to make an impressive statement---the old style curved edge coping was replaced and the entire pool surface was covered in white one-inch tiles. The backyard is spacious and decidedly lusher than the front. The lot is elevated slightly from a neighbor, which gives one more of sense of panorama and openness. The benefit of Scott’s thoughtful and well-executed restoration of this home was very far reaching. Aside from creating a beautiful environment in which to live, he contributed greatly to their surrounding neighborhood, transforming what was once a local nuisance, into a cherished neighborhood asset.
