Honeymoon Home of Elvis and Priscilla Lists for $9.3 Million

A Mid-century Modern home in Palm Springs where Elvis and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon has hit the market for $9.275 million.

Entrepreneur Nancy Cirillo has listed the 4,700-square-foot house at 1350 Ladera Circle, at the end of a cul-de-sac in Vista Las Palmas, according to the Robb Report.

The futuristic four-bedroom, five-bathroom home, built in 1960 on a half-acre, was designed by Modernist architect William Krisel for local developer Bob Alexander.

Cirillo, the ex-wife of Jeff Cirillo, the former third baseman who spent 14 seasons in the major leagues, bought the spaceship-like Alexander Residence in late 2022 for $5.65 million.

As first reported by The Wall Street Journal, Elvis Presley leased the house for about a year starting in 1966 before marrying Priscilla at the Aladdin Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, then flying back to Palm Springs on Frank Sinatra’s Learjet for their honeymoon.

The house was renovated on the inside by Cirillo, a former owner of a women’s activewear line, and her husband, tennis pro Cary Collins, in collaboration with designer Michelle Boudreau.

The glass and stone split-level house, topped by a bat-wing roof, spans across four interconnected rounded rooms linked by terrazzo floors and exposed brick walls.

A sunken living room sports a custom built-in sofa and fireplace, with glass sliders spilling out onto a terrace.

An elevated dining area connects to the kitchen, which has white oak cabinets, quartzite counters and a round island with five stovetop burners.

An adjacent den has a fireplace and TV cut into an accent wall stretching to the ceiling. A former closet has been converted into a black marble bar.

Up a staircase is a master suite with a luxe bath, wardrobe closets, a circular soaking tub and access to a balcony looking across to the San Jacinto Mountains.

Outside, palm-laced grounds include a large pool, spa and fireside sitting area, plus a carport for two vehicles.

Cirillo and Collins have decided to sell because they’re moving back to their old neighborhood across the Coachella Valley to be closer to family and work.

“It was so fun to enjoy that phase of our relationship in that home,” Cirillo told the WSJ. “It was kind of like our honeymoon house. Now, it’s back to real life.”

Robert Alexander and his father, George Alexander, led the expansion of Palm Springs between 1955 and 1965, building 2,200 “Alexander homes” with the help of architect William Krisel. Both men and their wives died in a plane crash in 1965, bringing an end to the era of Alexander development in Palm Springs.
