DescriptionThe architectural, mid-century estate was impeccably restored by renowned architect, Lance O?Donnell, AIA, and inspired by the modernist designs of Albert Frey with elements influenced by Richard Neutra?s Kaufmann House nearby. The former estates of Howard Hughes, Howard Hawks, Lily Tomlin, Barry Manilow, and Jack Benny, surround the completely gated, luxury retreat which evokes a sense of refined minimalism and understated elegance.The property boasts commanding south and west-facing vistas of the San Jacinto Mountains, and its convenient location is within a 10-minute walk to the famous Riviera Resort, hiking trails, shops, galleries, and cafes in downtown Palm Springs. Large concrete pavers cut through the modern desert landscaping and lead up through the front courtyard to an impressive glass and steel pivot door. Walls of sliding glass frame the bright entryway and spacious, geometric living areas and open up to the striking agave and lush flower gardens in the rear and to the front courtyard?s reflecting pool. The soothing sound of the pool?s fountain and the fragrant blossoms from citrus trees in the rear garden add to the seductive, relaxing ambience.Terrazzo style, honed concrete floors flow through the entire bright and airy open floor plan filled with exclusively commissioned artwork, Italian furniture, and stylish fixtures and amenities. Modern designs found in the residence include Calligaris furniture, Hansa fixtures and Helestra lighting.
