Located in the community of Whispering Sands Villas this incredible mid century (1964) condo is the quintessential ''Palm Springs'' getaway. Built by ''Lonesome George'' Gobel, shortly after the run of his NBC comedy/talk show, for his mother Lillian and his Hollywood pals, it was a celebrity hotspot. With only 22 units around a central pool/spa area it is a very private retreat. With 2 bedrooms and 2 baths the residence features details like a clerestory window in the kitchen, lots of storage and two outdoor spaces - a private yard space in back and a wonderful front porch for socializing. The primary bedroom has two closets and an attached bath. The complex has incredible mountain views. Of course, this location is unsurpassed within easy walking distance to the shops and restaurants on El Paseo. All this in a very well-maintained home with in-unit laundry and newer heating/air conditioning. A remarkable opportunity for a very discerning buyer!
