Located in the prestigious Movie Colony and inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's protégé, Hiram Hudson Benedict, this elegant estate combines Spanish flair with modern luxury. Spanning 2,278 sq ft, it boasts four bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and proximity to Palm Springs' top dining and shopping spots. Esteemed guests like Bob and Dolores Hope have graced this home, adorned with Arto tile flooring, Talavera tiles, and a spacious great room with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors leading to the patio. Outside, a new pool and spa offer stunning mountain views. Other features include a detached two-car garage, ample storage, a basement, rooftop deck, and discreet underground utilities. The 1935 property is recognized for its pre-WWII significance, holding a "5S3" historic status for its Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, potentially qualifying for a Mills Act residence. Set on privately owned land near Ruth Hardy Park, upscale eateries, and boutiques, its ideal location on a serene street and potential for a Short-Term Rental license make it a valuable investment in Palm Springs' sought-after Movie Colony district.
