Description

You will find upon entering the house you are transported back to a time when glamour, elegance and entertaining on a grand scale were the order of the day. This Incredible home is located in the prestigious Movie Colony Neighborhood of Palm Springs and was designed by renowned Architect James McNaughton.
Mr. McNaughton’s use of arches, has been utilized with modern simplicity to create a desert Pavilion, surrounded by wings and walls of glass and anchored by terrazzo throughout. The light structural forms of the arches make the central section of the house appear to float above the walls in the manner of clerestory.
This nighttime view over the pool shows the dramatic effects of the lighting, both interior and exterior. A sunken circular terrazzo conversation area centers the living room framing the impressive mountain views, all of which make this an architecturally important home. A must see for the Mid-Century purist. This is one of those homes that stand out in the neighborhood, everyone envies, everyone covets and frankly makes the neighborhood. One might sense what it must have been like back when Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner were just down the street entertaining the Rat Pack, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh were swimming in the pool next door. Other houses on street include former homes of Joan Crawford, Gloria Swanson, Huntington Estate, Al Jolson, Art Linkletter and Dinah Shore.
