PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Reduced $350,000 for this RARE find high atop Palm Springs! This mountainside setting enjoys an equally exciting Hollywood backstory! Metropolitan Opera’s brightest star, actress Lily Pons built the home in 1954 which was rebuilt in 2008 using the original footprint and fireplace. The Desert Sun wrote, "Snuggled securely into the hilltop, built on solid rock" when covering the housewarming party hosted by actor Danny Kaye. All these years later, the gated compound near the end of Cahuilla Hills Drive SHINES ABOVE THE REST with unparalleled views of both town and desert. The gentle curve of the pool and lawn dotted with citrus are seemingly ripped out of the pages of a 1950’s era Holiday Magazine. Highlights include 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, tall ceilings, original stone fireplace, formal dining, den/study, private casita, open-concept kitchen with bar, great separation of bedrooms, and glass sliding + French doors throughout. Spa with waterfall built into the mountain is a pleasant surprise! Keep an eye out for the Big Horn Sheep, they’ll be passing by! The Primary Retreat features big views, direct pool access, office and dressing area. An adjacent den/study is positioned along this wing as well. The primary bath features dual vanities and separate tub/shower. Take the Matterport VIRTUAL TOUR for a better sense the home’s recent refresh both inside and out. Ensuite Guest Bedroom Two is positioned along the main hall. Guest Bedroom Three is located off the kitchen with nearby bath. Guest Bedroom Four is the upstairs casita with ensuite bath, private entrance, and big balcony views toward Andreas Hills and Indian Canyons. The main house features a utility room with laundry sink and direct access to the 2-car garage opening to the motor court allowing for guest parking. Owners may apply for a VACATION RENTAL certificate which clears the path for renting this home out on a short-term basis. Motor up for a closer look, the MAGIC of 13 Cahuilla Hills Drive is calling like the night it debuted with "singing and bongos by Danny Kaye, Lucille Ball, and Desi Arnaz following supper" Fun Fact: Lily Pond’s handprints remain in place on the pool terrace. Enjoy it all!
