A Palm Springs mid-century modern home known for hosting big parties and fundraisers is on the market for $4.495 million.
Dubbed “The Gala House,” the property that set the stage for a 2020 Modernism Week tour created by Michael Nickerson-Rossi, founder of International Dance Festival in Palm Springs and Nickerson-Rossi Dance, has five bedrooms, four bathrooms and 4,825 square feet of living space.
The home is also available for rent at $30,000 monthly.
Sited in the Historic Tennis Club neighborhood within walking distance of downtown Palm Springs, the house went up on this third-acre lot in 1973. It later underwent a down-to-the-studs remodel with quality finishes, fixtures and systems.
Now powered by solar panels, the house that records show last traded hands in February 2021 for $3.595 million sits behind a bright orange gate and wall with hedges enclosing a circular swimming pool.
Nearby, aqua-colored double entry doors open to reveal the home’s interior with glass walls, high ceilings, polished tile floors, reversed archways, custom light fixtures and mirrored walls.
