Cary Grant Home!
Cary Grant Home!
A classic home for a very class act gentleman. Always debonair and suave in appearance and behavior, Cary Grant was the sparkle in the eye of every movie-going woman during the 40's, 50's and 60's. Today we still get a thrill while watching his old films and wonder why they don't make them like him anymore. Back in his heyday, leading men played themselves. Cary Grant played himself in whatever role he took, as did John Wayne, Errol Flynn, David Niven, Fred Astaire and a host of others. We went to see them in whatever movie they happened to be in. It wasn't until Marlon Brando came along that our glorious leading men started portraying the actual character in a believable way.
This beautiful Spanish farmhouse replica built in 1927 gives us an insight into Grant's softer and more relaxed side; where he could kick back and enjoy a more casual approach to life during his 20 years in residence. Considered to be one of the last classic Spanish homes in Palm Springs, the house has been continuously updated while preserving the original tiles and ambiance. It has also been designated as Historic Class 1, the highest designation of three possible categories, which qualifies it for federal as well as local preservation applications.
Sited on 1.54 acres of lush vegetation and lawns, the utmost privacy prevails within its walled confines. With 6,000sf, the home is a rare two stories not often found in Spanish design, and contains 6 bedrooms and 5.5 baths. Included are a guest wing, a charming art studio, a saline pool and dramatic mountain views.
Let a little part of Cary Grant rub off on you! Listed at $2,995,000.
