The spaceship-shaped Palm Springs mansion where Elvis Presley and his wife Priscilla spent their honeymoon appears to be on the verge of being taken off the market, less than a month after it was listed at just under $6 million.
The seller accepted an offer to purchase the $5.65 million home on Thursday, however the transaction still needs to be completed, reports TMZ.
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, which is where the King of Rock and Roll and his wife hid away for the first few days of their marriage, comes complete with an at-home spa, spacious pool, and multiple private terraces with stunning views of the nearby mountains.

They then spent four days together honeymooning in the home, before he had to leave to film a movie, and now, the home can be yours for $5.6 million.
Designed by William Krisel in 1960, the home was far ahead of its time, and its futuristic design (it resembles a spaceship from the outside) and modern advancements (including vacuum ports, an indoor kitchen grill, and wall-mounted radios) resulted in it being nicknamed The House of Tomorrow by Look Magazine in 1962.
Its first owners were Robert and Helene Alexander – who started the residential development company Alexander Construction, which built more than 2,200 homes across California between 1955 and 1965.
In recent years, the home was branded as Elvis’s Honeymoon Hideaway and was open to the public for tours.

While the home has been renovated in recent years, many of its original architectural details – like its stone walls and terrazzo floors – have been restored.
‘Alexander Construction Company is known for bringing the mid-century movement to Palm Springs. This particular property was built in 1960 by Mr. Alexander for himself and his family,’ said Compass listing agent Marc Sanders.
‘The property is done so well. It still has all the architectural integrities of when it was built and now is upgraded to a modern living house to today’s living standards.’
