Welcome to Villa Del Leone, set in the heart of the star studded Old Las Palmas neighborhood of Palm Springs. Designed by Robert Marx in 1962, the son of Gummo Marx of the famed Marx Brothers, pulled from his family’s visionary artistic nature to maximize the dramatic backdrop while creating an entertainer’s oasis with this Hollywood Regency Style home. Complete privacy the moment you walk through the 15 foot hedges that enclose this almost 20,000 square foot lot. Views devoid of power-lines and telephone poles; just the stars, mountains, and a sea of palm trees as far as the eye can see. Antique hand carved doors usher you in through the front, accompanied by floor to ceiling windows surrounding the living room. Pristine white epoxied tile floors, crisp architectural lines, and custom lighting make the rare curated art collection shine, while original moldings and accents exude the intimacy and warmth ideal for hosting. The 4,300 square foot single story U-shaped home hosts four bedrooms on one wing of the house. A spacious en-suite master bedroom with a large wraparound his-and-her closet and floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to the patio off of the pool. A sound room ideal for podcasts, music, and sound engineering. The two remaining guest bedrooms, one currently used as an office fashioned with designer wallpaper, have direct entry to the gorgeous side garden. The backyard is a luxuriant masterpiece with modern Versailles inspired landscaping, framing picturesque views from multiple rooms in the home. This home has a build quality rarely seen today, rich history, complete privacy, and an architectural excellence that come together to offer a true trophy-like estate.
