• Beautiful. Obviously. To me, it is borderline priceless. But in the real world, I know it's a Neutra. I know its exquisite. I know it was very well renovated. But $25 million?

    I understand it's cultural significance and owning such an iconic home is incredibly rare and I know someone with stacks of cash will buy it for $25 million. But. Palm Springs is a horrid place to live for most of the year given the desert climate IMO. No idea who would want to own it.

    Across in Los Angeles, well, Pasadena, comedian Kristen Wiig purchased Case Study Home #10 a few years ago for $3 million. $ per sq/ft is far higher in Los Angeles than Palm Springs, too, so it seems like a complete bargain by comparison.

    But. With that said. I would live in the desert if it meant living there :-)

  • No idea who would want to own it.

    Someone with arthritis?

    It's a silly point, but it's great when you see details like the stonework used correctly, fitting in beautifully, rather than being hideously replicated as a fashion trend.

  • What I actually meant to say is 'No idea who would want to live there' - as in, Palm Springs! Oops. I appreciate that whoever dressed the house for sale didn't go OTT with Eames and Wagner stuff. As much as I like them, it often becomes a cliche in mid century for sale photos.
