More Insights

Built in 1934 (91 years old).
Condition: Built in 1934, this property retains much of its original charm and era-specific architecture, as highlighted in the description. While well-maintained, the kitchen features dated dark wood cabinetry and simple countertops, and the bathrooms exhibit older-style tiling, pedestal sinks, and specific, non-neutral paint colors (e.g., bright pink), indicating they have not undergone recent modern renovations. The overall aesthetic, including the terra cotta flooring and rustic light fixtures, is consistent with its age but not contemporary. The property's age also raises concerns about older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future updates, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.

About this home

This classic, 1934 architectural Old Spanish Hacienda mini-estate enjoys a long fabled Hollywood history and is appropriately located in the central Palm Springs neighborhood known as Movie Colony East. This home retains most of its original charm and character and offers what Palm Springs is most known for...gracious spaces for entertaining indoors and out, plus total privacy. Vaulted, beamed ceilings set the romantic style from the moment you enter as your gaze carries you through a wall of multi-light French doors out to the resort-sized pool. The large living room suggests a set from a film with its decoration thoughtfully designed, all focused on the tiled fireplace surround. The L-shaped home embraces the pool and yard and allows access from all parts of the home: Entry hall, dining room, kitchen, and pool changing room and its bath. On the other leg of the "L" are 4 bedroom suites, two or three with outdoor access ala pure Hacienda style , and their 3 baths. The Cantina is a charming addition to the poolside, and doubles as a pool storage space and laundry. Indoors, off the kitchen is a large screening room with projector, which makes it popcorn-adjacent! This home is for those who respect and appreciate authenticity and era-specific architecture. Here's to the good life. Come rediscover it.
