Description

Here is your opportunity to take ownership of this fantastic and well preserved Palm Springs icon designed by architect Robert Lewis in 1965, and located in the sought after neighborhood of Deepwell Estates, adjacent to the former homes of Audrey Hepburn, William Holden, Elizabeth Taylor, Liberace and Loretta Young. Named "Stephan's Folly" after its owner, this large 3250 sq ft home features a sunken living room with a swanky curved wet bar, three bedrooms, a den (or 4th bedroom), five bathrooms, pool cabana room, and an oversized garage. The private yard has a kidney shaped pool, and is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the desert lifestyle. The house was completely decorated for Jack Stephan, also known as "Plumber to the Stars", lived here with his wife from 1969 until 2014, when he died at the age of 96. He was quite a fixture here in the desert while living in this fabulously decorated home, which was the epitome of chic luxury back in the day. Mr. Stephan was also known for his flashy wardrobe, and he took great pride in decorating his abode in his favorite color (red!). Not only was Mr. Stephan the go-to plumber for the who's who of Palm Springs, but he was also incredibly social and known for the numerous parties and card nights he hosted at this house, which was made for entertaining! This home is offered with its custom-made period furniture framed by archival velvet flocked gold foil wall covering and 100% deep pile wool carpeting. Contact agent for a private showings.
