FIRST TIME on the market in nearly 50 years. The Fontenell long served as the private compound & retreat for the family of Hollywood icon & make-up tycoon, Max Factor. This exclusive resort is sited on .62 acres in the heart of Palm Springs, a short one block stroll to the popular El Mirasol Restaurant. Built in the 1950's and virtually untouched, this unique property offers the ultimate in privacy & solitude, located on its own triangular island of land with street access on all 3 sides. A total of 7 large 1BR/1BA bungalow apartments form the perimeter of the property, opening onto an interior garden with a large triangular pool and majestic mountain views! Each unit features its own 1950's showcase-home kitchenette in pink, turquoise & yellow. The authentic mid-century architecture & aesthetic of this property await your restoration to return it to its former glory. This is an extraordinary piece of Palm Springs history and an exceptional investment opportunity.
PS
Very cool! Many house nearby in Twin Palms are available for a similar price and have about 1200 sq ft! PS is amazing! There is so much there that escapes the eye. I was just there and stayed about 2 blocks from this place and never saw it. Rode bicycle around even. Just too much to see!
Some starry-eyed dreamer
thinks that a coat of paint, a few hundred square feet of sod, and seven rooms' worth of generic old furniture adds $990,000 of value:
