About 788 N Dry Falls Road
The iconic Big Boy Estate offers a rare opportunity to experience the quintessential Palm Springs lifestyle in one of the city's most celebrated architectural neighborhoods.Designed by renowned architect William Krisel and built in 1958 by the Alexander Company for Bob Wian, founder of the Bob's Big Boy burger chain, this historic Mid-Century property blends architectural pedigree, celebrity provenance, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.Located in the prestigious and historic Vista Las Palmas community, the home sits among some of Palm Springs' most famous examples of mid-century modern design. The neighborhood is known for its iconic architecture, stunning mountain backdrops, and storied celebrity past.With 3,076 sq ft of living space, the Big Boy Estate represents one of the larger Alexander floor plans.

The Big Boy Estate has also been an award-winning, personally managed active short-term rental, helping offset family use, with the opportunity to continue this currently in place.
