Keeping the focus on real estate, nearly 300 real estate agents and affiliate members of the Palm Springs Regional Association of Realtors combined the 2018 installation of officers and board of directors members with a caravan of luxury homes currently on the market.
This progressive dinner, catered by Eight4Nine Restaurant and Lounge, transported guests to three multi-million dollar homes in Palm Springs designed for entertaining and unique architecture.
The first home on tour welcomed guests to Hollywood Glamour in the heart of the historic Movie Colony at a magnificent tennis estate once owned by Joan Perry Cohn (widow of Harry Cohn) and Lawrence Harvey. Represented by Brady Sandahl of Keller Williams Luxury, and offered at $2,995,000, guests enjoyed the vast grounds and multiple entertaining areas inside and out of this dramatic four bedroom, four-bath home.
A pool-side dinner at the Spanish styled “Hacienda de Campos”, built in 1937 and located on a prized corner lot in the prestigious Old Las Palmas neighborhood, was the perfect setting to enjoy the old world history of Palm Springs. This charming five bedroom, five bath, beautifully restored residence offers private guest quarters, and is primed for entertaining with its sprawling grounds and quaint courtyards. This estate is represented by Carl Borey of Keller Williams Luxury and is available at $2,699,000.
The final home offered the guests a glimpse of Palm Springs’ rich history, as guests partied like the Hollywood’s legendary stars did in the home, formerly owned by Jack Warner, of Warner Brothers Studios. This slice of paradise, in the heart of Old Las Palmas, has been the playground for its fair share of Hollywood royalty. After a lengthy transformation, the Jack Warner estate seamlessly blends modern comforts with old world charm and is a one-of-a-kind private oasis. Represented by Marc Lange and Carl Blea, of HOM Sotheby’s International Realty, this estate will be coming on the market soon.
