Around the world, some houses and mansions hold stories that are unique in the world. One such property could be the California mansion where the famous “King of Rock and Roll” Elvis Presley barricaded himself in for his honeymoon with Priscilla Presley immediately after their marriage in 1967 and in which they effectively enjoyed the best moments as newlyweds.
A house in Palm Springs which, although it was rented for a whole season, did not fail to surprise the famous singer and according to his own words, it was a mansion that Elvis truly managed to fall in love with, thanks to its significant modernity for the mid-century era and its perfect location east of Los Angeles.
A mansion with Elvis Presley and Priscilla’s honeymoon story
The eye-catching mansion did not go unnoticed and achieved the title of the “house of tomorrow” at the height of 1962 by the famous Look magazine. Now it is back in the headlines thanks to the fact that it has been placed for sale for the amount of US$5.6 million and which at the time was leased by the newlywed couple for $21,000 per year.
This paradisiacal home has an internal layout of 4 bedrooms with three full bathrooms and 436 square meters of living space, including a spa. The main facade, as well as the entire exterior of the mansion, are widely striking thanks to its similarity to a spaceship and the famous designer William Krisel tried to be ahead of his time when he managed to build this wonder in 1960, with amenities that were undoubtedly considered innovative as its internal grill and radios on the walls.
These wonders are still visible as the entrance doors enjoy being textured with a wall in the main room clad in stone that incorporates seating and is strategically located in front of the fireplace. If we detail the dining room, it is possible to determine that it is on a platform with great views toward the living room, and through its glass walls, it is possible to see the mountains and the surrounding green areas.
A perfect home for California’s sunny climate
The kitchen also maintains a spectacular design where the central island stands out thanks to its oval shape and the ability to incorporate a quintet of burners into its structure. The bedrooms are equally futuristic, with the main suite featuring a curved wall of large windows that allow you to enjoy all that the outdoors has to offer visually.
Regarding the bathroom, it has double sinks and large bathtubs so that personal hygiene can also enjoy a level of comfort that is classified as outstanding. The outdoor areas are also striking and perfect for relaxation thanks to the irregularly shaped swimming pool with a whirlpool bathtub.
The couple, formed by Priscilla and the famous singer Elvis Presley was married for six years until they divorced in 1973, only four years after the singer’s death. A relationship that was undoubtedly categorically complicated given the circumstances and the young age and inexperience of both, but that in effect, achieved their best moments inside this beautiful and futuristic California mansion that is now for sale.
