About this property
Private Retreat w/Epic Views, Pool & Spa, Downtown
The City of Palm Springs ID#067664
Welcome to your own private Palm Springs sanctuary—where epic mountain views meet total seclusion. Set behind 12ft hedges on a .36acre property, this fully restored 1956 midcentury home strikes the perfect balance between elegant design and laid-back desert escape. You’ll feel completely removed from the world—yet still close enough to stroll to parks and restaurants.
We're only a phone call away to answer any questions you may have.
-Two blocks from Ruth Hardy Park with tennis courts and playgrounds.
-Walk to parks, downtown shops, and restaurants.
-Quiet street of all gated properties.
-Enjoy this historic old Hollywood enclave.
-El Mirador and the adjacent Movie Colony neighborhoods were once part of the glamorous El Mirador Hotel grounds.
-Actor Errol Flynn lived a few doors down from the house, and Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz lived on the next corner. Other neighbors and frequent visitors included Truman Capote, Albert Einstein, Bing Crosby, and many other Hollywood favorites.

Inside, discover a clean, light-filled, and beautifully updated home with three comfortable king bedrooms. Outside, spend sunset in the spa, toss bocce under the palms, or fire up the BBQ for dinner by the pool. It’s relaxed, it’s refined, and it’s made for making memories.
