Property Description
Designed by noted architects Garrett Van Pelt and George Lind, the estate was originally owned by Philip L. Boyd, Palm Springs' first mayor. Authentic details lend warmth and character throughout, from beamed ceilings and elegant ironwork to built-ins, tile and hardwood floors. Generously proportioned living, dining and family rooms, a library, two kitchens and three main-level fireplaces create inviting spaces for intimate evenings and memorable celebrations.
The signature Frank Sinatra Room—named for the legendary guest whose 60th birthday was celebrated here—features a wet bar and offers flexibility as a game room, den or potential ground-floor owner's suite. Upstairs, the primary retreat features a beautifully tiled bathroom, spacious dressing room and private balcony framing sweeping, unobstructed mountain views.
Beyond the interiors, manicured, park-like grounds span a street-to-street lot, with gates, walls and mature hedges creating a secluded setting. A private tennis court completes this remarkable property, where architectural heritage, expansive grounds and Palm Springs history come together. An exceptional opportunity to make one of the Movie Colony's storied estates your own.
