Atomic Ranch Talk & Tour: Rescued History in Little Beverly Hills

Before the fabulous breeze block and vibrant decor, this iconic home in Little Beverly Hills was a stripped-down disaster. Learn how the homeowners rescued the home and transformed it inside and out.

True to its neighborhood name, this home once belonged to a world-class Olympian in the 1950s. But it had fallen into a state of neglect. Thanks to two back-to-back homeowners, it's been brought back to its former glory and transformed into a midcentury paradise that's the perfect example of Palm Springs Style. Tour the home and enjoy light refreshments then gather poolside to hear from Atomic Ranch editor, Jickie Torres, and both homeowners to hear how they renovated and then personalized the Alexander Company built abode to reflect both a passion for preservation and vintage style.
