Intrigue has fueled the legend of Howard Hughes for years, and now his S. Palm Springs estate is available for sale. Below the Elrod & Bob Hope's home, this exquisitely designed mid-century home is perched at the edge of complete privacy with the convenience of nearby city life. Recently renovated, this 3BD en-suites maintains the authentic style of its 50's roots, with post and beam ceilings, whitewashed brick, and walls of glass that take in the enormous views, from the valley floor and city to the windmills and mountains beyond. The classic period kitchen retains the original pristine oven, cook-top, and vintage tile in gorgeous 50's green. Outdoors are a myriad of entertaining possibilities, with lounging decks & patios on different levels. Relax in the spa on one level, or float in the pool near the bright canvas cabana that's perfect for intimate alfresco loafing. You own the land. This home produces phenomenal Vacation Rental income.
