Elvis and Priscilla Presley’s Honeymoon House in Palm Springs Sells for Full Ask

The Palm Springs, Calif., home where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned has sold for $5.65 million.

The Palm Springs, Calif., home where Elvis and Priscilla Presley honeymooned in the 1960s has sold for the full asking price of $5.65 million, six weeks after hitting the market.

The buyer is Nancy Cirillo, a former owner of a women’s activewear line, Ms. Cirillo said.

The sellers were Seattle-based investors Dan Bridge and Paul Armistead, who listed the house in October after a nearly two-year renovation.

Ms. Cirillo, 53, co-founded NaLa Seattle, a line of fitness wear for women. She was previously married to Jeff Cirillo, a former Major League Baseball player, with whom she has three adult children. For the past few years, she has been splitting her time between Indian Wells, Calif., and Seattle.

She said she wasn’t house-hunting when a friend told her about the curved, midcentury-modern house. She and her fiancé, tennis pro Cary Collins, were drawn to the home’s rugged mountain views and its “groovy, 𝑠e𝑥y, odd” architecture, she said. “You walk in, and it wraps around you. It was pretty easy to love,” she added. Later, she learned that Mr. Collins’ daughter wrote a paper about the house as a student at Savannah College of Art and Design.

The sellers received multiple offers after listing the house in October, said Marc Sanders of Compass, who handled both sides of the deal. “We’re definitely in a softer market,” he said. “But with the amount of interest this house got, you wouldn’t have thought so.” He attributed the activity to the fact that the home is a landmark in Palm Springs.

Ms. Cirillo said architecture, not Elvis, drew her to the house, which was built around 1960 for home builder Bob Alexander. Designed by Modernist architect William Krisel, it is roughly 4,700 square feet with round walls and a batwing-shaped roof. The house has no corners; instead, stone walls curve around circular rooms. There is a pentagon-shaped pool outside.

The roof has a distinctive batwing shape.

Mr. Presley rented the house for about a year starting in 1966, and he and Priscilla Presley celebrated there following their Las Vegas wedding the following year.

It was designed by Modernist architect William Krisel for home builder Bob Alexander and his family.

Messrs. Bridge and Armistead, former brothers-in-law, bought the house for $2.6 million in 2020, records show. They spent about two years renovating the property, which was designated a historic landmark in 2021.
