The curbside appeal of this Architectural Masterpiece by James McNaughton is dramatically uncommon. The wide circular drive bordered by lawns and flowers offers convenient guests parking. The dual stairway entry of this elevated hillside home anticipates glamour even before seeing the dramatic outside living spaces with an oversize Pebble Tec pool/spa. The views are 'picture postcard' perfect of what one expects to see of Palm Springs. Unobstructed panoramic and valley views of the village, the surrounding San Jacinto and Santa Rosa mountains. At night the village lights glitters. The architect was noted for his masterful use of glass walls, clerestory windows, spacious interiors, high 12 and 14 foot ceilings and highly polished Terrazzo floors. Whether it is pool side dinners or a large group of opera fans, the house creates unforgettable entertaining memories. The step up living room has fireplace with book Carrera Marble. The extra large dining room comfortably seats 12.
