For the second time in just over two years, the Palm Springs, Calif., house where Elvis Presley and Priscilla Presley spent their honeymoon is hitting the market.

The sellers, Nancy Cirillo and her husband, Cary Collins, are asking $9.27 million, a significant jump from the $5.65 million Cirillo paid for the four-bedroom house in 2022.

The circa-1960s home had undergone significant structural renovations by the previous owners and obtained a historical designation, Cirillo said, but she and Collins spent about five months and around $1.3 million upgrading the interior of the Midcentury Modern house. They added terrazzo flooring throughout, updated the kitchen with new white oak cabinetry, and turned a onetime closet into a black marble bar with brass accents, she said.

The roughly 4,700-square-foot house is famed for its connection to Elvis, who rented it for about a year starting in 1966. The legend goes that he and Priscilla were set to marry at the house, but changed their minds after a local gossip columnist discovered the plan. After their Las Vegas nuptials, they flew back to Palm Springs on Frank Sinatra's Learjet and Elvis carried Priscilla over the threshold of the house singing "The Hawaiian Wedding Song," according to the book, "And the Rest Is History: The Famous (and Infamous) First Meetings of the World's Most Passionate Couples" by Marlene Wagman-Geller.

Cirillo, the former owner of a women's activewear line, and Collins, a tennis pro, were engaged and thinking about a move to Palm Springs when they read an article about the Presley house in The Wall Street Journal in 2022, Cirillo said. They bought it from investors only six weeks after it went on the market.

Like the Presleys, Cirillo, 56, and Collins, 57, had originally planned to marry at the house. However, harsh weather conditions in Palm Springs in February 2023 made them rethink the plans, instead going to the Bahamas to wed. Like the Presleys, they returned to the house after their nuptials, although Collins didn't carry his bride over the threshold.

"It was so fun to enjoy that phase of our relationship in that home," Cirillo said.

They are selling the property in order to move back to their old neighborhood on the other side of California's Coachella Valley. While their year in Palm Springs was fun, Cirillo said, it logistically makes more sense to be closer to family and Collins's work. The couple have six adult children between them.

"It was kind of like our honeymoon house," she said. "Now, it's back to real life."

With a recognizable batwing-shape roof, the house was designed by Modernist architect William Krisel for builder Bob Alexander and his family, and became known throughout the area as "The House of Tomorrow." The house has essentially no corners, but rather circular rooms and curving, peanut brittle-style walls. Outside, there is a pentagon-shaped pool. A 1962 article in "Look" magazine called the property a "pleasure dome that proves California has only begun to show how luxurious things can be on this planet."

Listing agent Marc Sanders of Compass said the area is seeing strong demand for architecturally significant homes with unique pedigree. A significant architectural property designed by architect Hugh Kaptur sold for $8.15 million in March 2024, he said.
