Tasteful friends: Zsa Zsa Gabor's gracious Palm Springs home for sale

Those dirt and rock hills aren’t very appealing. I’m not sure I get Palm Springs.

Holy Mary Mother of God!!

Total gut interior renovation. Beautiful property.

Oh, and paint and re-landscape outside.

Still a great property.

I agree with R1.

As for the house interior, she couldn't have made it more ugly and unappealing if she tried.

Looks like an old motel 6

The property, the property.

Love that structure, pool, and yes property. I also like the exterior color, actually. The inside... well, interesting, I suppose.

Like I said, a gut interior reno.

I also could live with the outside color.

Yup. I remembered the "bold design choices" from the last thread. I may NEVER forget them, to my great chagrin.

Gorgeous. I’ll take as is. Cash offer.

paint and change the cabinet doors.

Hello? Stipple ceilngs! We're all gonna die!!!!!

Someone will buy this and then tear it down and build something much better. Wait and see !

Complete tear down.

Being stuck in the desert heat with low ceilings and that decor would drive me to madness.

R1 Funny how all this works: the only thing appealing to me about this candied barf of a house is its location, close to the raw and undeveloped desert.

Yeah, if you don't like the desert maybe PS isn't for you.

Why on earth did Zsa Zsa use the same wallpaper to back the dining room shelving as in the master bedroom?

This place is fucking spectacular and I won’t stand for ONE critical word about it.

It's awful, and I love it.

I unironically love the exterior. That's a great color. The interior decoration is pretty horrible to me, but my main problem is with all the cabinetry; so heavy and all so alike! I would love to see the kitchen with some sleek, midcentury light wood shelving and cabinets and the bathroom with anything but what's there. I actually love the garish wallpaper choices.

Also, what's that to the side of the house? It looks like a little Flower Power-themed train car!

Looks like an expanded manufactured home.

Is that Astro Turf in the backyard? Silly question. Of course it is!

R1 you and I are on the same page. Looks like she’s living in an empty desert void, a place where I’d expect to see an abandoned car and that hippy bus fits in better than that block wall house that sank my spirits so much when I moved to Phoenix, land of the block wall houses. The whole thing depresses the heck out of me. Scorps galore out there I’m sure and dry, dirt and dust. That is Zsa Zsa’s house? Seems more like she would live on Fifth avenue, New York is where I’d want her to be.

Eva took the good apartment on Fifth Avenue, R24.

What is so great about living in Palm Springs? I can understand vacationing there for a three-day weekend, maybe a whole week, during the winter months, relaxing at one of the resorts, sunbathing by the pool, enjoying a drink with a little umbrella in it. However, I can’t see myself living there full-time, especially during the summer. And if I were to live there year-round, the only way I could see myself being in any way happy is if I were living in one of those multi-million dollar homes, like Zsa Zsa’s estate, not some little apartment. I don’t get it.

It’s hideous and I absolutely love it!

I mean this is Eastern Eurotrash meets tacky Americana. There’s everything but plastic pink flamingos. It’s a glorious time capsule that should be persevered.

Motel 6 - we’ll leave the light off because this property is Pepto Bismol pink

Looking at those interior shots, all I could think was, “I would HATE to be hungover in that godawful place.”

A kitchen? Neither Magda nor Zsa Zsa cooked. They probably didn't even know what a kitchen was.

No mention of the pool infused with Chanel N°5?

That alone would have been a major selling point to the discerning buyer.

Perfectly hidjus. SO busy, and those mirrors!

*shudders*

The only good things about are the pool area and the location.

I really like the bathroom with the bird wallpaper. The rest is a bit of an acquired taste but at least its not dull. Not sure I could live with all the mirrored walls

R18 - that wallpaper was marked down to 99 cents a roll in the clearance section at Sears back in 1979. How could she pass it up ?

Looks like shit

For $3.8 M someone will snatch it up, tear it down, build better and bigger and sell the new house for around $50m. Without a doubt.

The house itself is fine. Gut the interior.

I enjoyed this discussion when we had it last year on the first thread about this house.

Any house I own would have to have a second floor and a basement. This has neither. It's just a tarted up trailer.

Zsa Zsa.

second floor for your stairlift, r40?

No way for the Queen of outer space to live.

All of that shit was fine after Zsa Zsa died and her gay husband sold the house. I don’t believe anyone has bothered to mention that.

I take that back. That’s not even Zsa Zsa’s home OP. That her sister Magda’s Palm Springs home and all of that shit was done after Magda Gabor’s death.

Lots of ‘rattlers in that area comin out dem rocks and that area as PS begins to heat up.

Woof. It would make an interesting Airbnb.

Nothing about this place could be considered "quiet good taste". The exterior really is a bit like a trailer. The inside just seems like a whore house. Having an outdoor pool in the desert is just a waste of resources.

Cielo Drive! The Gabor's lived in the Manson Tate House?

Top of Little Tuscany? No thanks. Windy AF up there. It's private of course, but this isn't a preferred area of Palm Springs IMO.

Whoever buys this place is the ultimate DLer.

Spiders, snakes and scorpions.

R55 - and coyotes. And tons of hikers walking past because it's just off the Lykken trail.

I can't believe the estate held on to this for so long? Why? Seems like a gay guy owns it. SOMEBODY was living there for all these years.

Great location for a desert property, but the house doesn't take any advantage of it.

Palm Springs is just plain awful.

Bare dirt. extreme heat and tired old queens who can't afford L.A. anymore.

The house, as pointed out repeatedly above, is beyond ugly. Did the painting in the bathroom come from a gas station gift shop? Or was it free with a fill up? And why is the Partridge Family bus parked next to the house?

Sorry, but I'd prefer Fresno to this shit.

I miss Zsa Zsa. She was a fabulous old broad. They don’t make them like that anymore.

Gracious?

So ugly I'd sit fire to the whole thing and just build something from scratch.

Like Vegas, Palm Springs is good for 48 hours.

A lot of the wallpaper clashed with the furniture gives me agita.

R59, we’re going to have to wait a few decades, but Paris Hilton will eventually get old. Of course, that’s assuming she doesn’t die young from some kind of drug overdose.

It’s hideous and perfect
