About this home
Experience the quintessential Palm Springs pied-a-terre with a storied celebrity past. Once owned by Academy Award-winning actress Joan Fontaine and later by Hollywood icon Tab Hunter, this charming residence, known as ''Villa Fontaine'', blends classic glamour with modern comfort in a secluded, walled & gated setting. Inside, the home impresses with soaring 10-foot ceilings, an eye-catching stone fireplace, floor-to-ceiling walls of glass that fill the space with views of your walled patio & pool, the panorama of the San Jacinto Mountains, and the natural light which embraces the indoor-outdoor lifestyle for which Palm Springs is so well-known. The sleek modern kitchen, skylit bathroom, and thoughtfully designed interiors create an elegant yet relaxed desert retreat. Step outside to enjoy your own private swimming pool, the perfect place to unwind beneath sunny desert skies. Located within the prestigious Club Condominiums, formerly part of the legendary Palm Springs Racquet Club, the community offers a charming and beautifully maintained environment. These properties are highly sought after and known for their strong demand and quick sales. With its distinctive style and desirable location, the home has also proven successful as a vacation rental when the owner is away. The community's no- minimum rental policy offers flexibility for those interested in generating income while enjoying their own Palm Springs escape. Adding to its appeal, the property sits on fee simple land, meaning you own the land outright--a valuable feature in Palm Springs. Villa Fontaine is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hollywood history while enjoying the effortless luxury of desert living.
