Omg, it’s so cute! It looks like a golf visor! If you’ve ever visited Palm Springs, you’ve surely passed the imposing concrete, steel, and glass structure perched high atop San Jacinto mountain, overlooking the gorgeous Coachella Valley. And if you squint real hard you can still see the ghosts of Bob and Delores Hope enjoying a cool and satisfying Chesterfield cigarette! True story! The stunning California home with 22,000 square feet of living space, was designed in 1979 by renowned Googie architect John Lautner especially for the Hopes. This is the first time it’s ever been up for sale. From the Daily Mail: “According to public records the home has six bedrooms, and Bob apparently did not like being caught short as there are also 12 bathrooms. It also has the unique distinction of having a massive boulder jutting out the living room floor. The English-born entertainer obviously had expensive tastes, as the murals on the first floor and the pool area are by Garth Benton, whose work is also featured at the Malibu Getty. As well as the Hollywood standard swimming pool, which is in the shape of Hope’s famous profile, other outdoor features include a pond, tennis court and an outdoor fireplace. Despite being designed by one of the world’s most famous architects, Lautner was said to have been infuriated at what he deemed to much interference by the Hopes. It is said he thought the house inappropriately furnished, and distanced himself from the property in later years.” (t/y Stephen)
