Description

In a word, Fabulous! The Palm Springs' Gala House, enviably known as much for its enduring Mid-Century Modern style as the setting for magnificent events, fund-raisers and soirees, is now for sale by its original owners. Virtually invisible from the street, the sprawling single-level estate is located in the Historic Tennis Club enclave and showcases a down-to-the-studs remodel that retains its original architectural flair and complements it with state-of-the-art finishes, fixtures and systems. A bright orange gate opens to reveal the home's private grounds, which measure .33 acres and display a circular swimming pool. Approx. 4,825 s.f., the 5-bedroom, 4-bath design features a large living room with original stone fireplace, a stunning waterfall island kitchen with custom glossy orange and white soft-close cabinetry and a Bertazzoni range, a pool-view media room, and a grand master suite with sitting room and a glamourous bath. Powered by an owned solar system, the chic residence displays double entry doors in aqua, walls of glass, high ceilings, polished tile floors throughout, custom lighting fixtures, reversed archways, and seamless mirrored walls in key locations.
