Estate graced with ‘old Hollywood glamour' lists in California. Take a look
A unique-looking home has landed on the real estate market in Palm Springs, California, and its backstory is just as elegant as its appearance.
Listed for $2.449 million, both the house, its former occupant and designer helped make it pretty famous, its listing on Compass says.
'Welcome to 1075 S. Manzanita, a singular architectural statement that captures the spirit of 1960s innovation and Old Hollywood glamour,' a June 4 news release says.
'Originally designed in 1964 by Charles W. Doty, this curvilinear residence is a sculptural ode to the era's finest modernist ideals. Its iconic circular form and orbit-like layout evoke comparisons to Oscar Niemeyer's Casa das Canoas and John Lautner's Elrod House and Hope Residence, a symphony of movement, geometry, and expressive design.'
It only makes sense that someone as glamorous as the home once owned it. Turns out, it was formally owned by Academy Award-winning actor Loretta Young, a starlet who starred in movies like 'The Farmer's Daughter' and 'Call of the Wild,' and who then made a smash in the TV world with 'The Loretta Young Show.' Her career spanned over four decades.
'This is the former home of Hollywood Legend Loretta Young. The home itself features a circular design, mountain views through large glass windows, and mid-century modern charm with a saltwater pool,' listing agent Alex Lombardo said in the release provided to McClatchy News.
Both the exterior and interior are nothing short of awe-inspiring with its high ceilings and old school chicness.
Features in and around the three-bedroom, four-bathroom residence, per the listing and release, include:
Terrazzo flooring'Origami-inspired ceilings'Circular living roomGlass wallsPrivate lodgeWine coolerCocktail terrace and bar'Fleetwood disappearing doors'GardensWaterfall Pond'Open-air shower'Junior en-suiteStudio with private entrance Salt water poolTwo-car garage
'Manzanita is more than a home, it's a museum-quality architectural heirloom, rich in Hollywood history, sculptural poetry, and Mid-Century Modern refinement,' the release says.
