In 1967, Elvis and Priscilla Presley snuck away to "The House of Tomorrow" for their honeymoon. It is a well-known landmark in Palm Springs, California thanks to its futuristic and sci-fi style.

Some of the features that were considered futuristic at the time were vacuum ports, an indoor grill in the kitchen, and radios mounted into the wall. While Elvis never actually owned the home, he did lease it for the year for $21,000.
You can currently tour the home but depending on who purchases the home, those tours may no longer be possible, so if you've been wanting to visit now is the time to go.

The home was first built in 1960 and was designed by William Krisel for Robert Alexander of the Alexander Construction Company, who built the home for himself. The home is often compared to a spaceship and has brought in many people to tour it thanks to its unique design.

The over 5,500 square feet of living space includes four bedrooms and even a pool in the shape of a pentagon. There are also stunning views of the mountain from the many windows and the terrace.

Traditionally, the grounds also featured a tennis court, but during the renovations over the last two years, the tennis court was removed. These renovations actually changed a lot about the home's decor, stunning a lot of people. The people who purchased it, Dan Bridge and Paul Armistead, wanted to make the home livable and not a museum.
Armistead and Bridge purchased the home in 2020 for $2.6 million and started making restorations and renovations. They did keep some of the original features, such as curved stone walls, a built-in sofa, terrazzo floors, and plenty of large windows. They even repainted the home in its original color thanks to the help from a paint specialist.

In fact, they kept enough of the original that it is considered to now have a Class-One historic designation. Even so, they did make some differences to make the home livable, such as a completely rebuilt kitchen, custom fixtures and details, and a floating fireplace.
The two are now selling the home for $5.6 million. The listing is held by Marc Sanders of Compass.
