365 CAMINO NORTE, PALM SPRINGS CA 92262

Experience the ultimate combination of Palm Springs' rich past and alluring present at this sprawling custom estate in the exclusive enclave of Old Las Palmas. The former home of legendary star Mary Martin, this exceptionally private and peaceful property is available for the first time in more than 35 years. Carefully upgraded while preserving its original style, the estate was created in 1936 and features a single-level main house and a detached guest house with rooftop view patio, encompassing a total of six bedrooms and five baths in approximately 4,078 square feet. Beyond a breezeway entrance, the residence opens to a formal fireplace-warmed living room with vaulted and beamed ceiling, a dining room with pool views and wet bar, and a casual family room. Large picture windows allow natural light to illuminate living spaces, while hardwood floors add warmth to every occasion. Highlighted by two garden windows, the kitchen presents custom cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, a nook with built-in banquette seating, a built-in pantry, and a large bar for dining and buffet-style serving, all with fabulous pool views. Each bedroom is unique, with some sharing upgraded baths, and the primary suite hosting two baths, a walk-in closet, cedar-lined sauna, and a retreat with outdoor access that has the potential to become another bedroom. A bonus room with bath, Murphy bed and direct patio access enhances versatility. Classic features include a cabinet hidden behind a painting, a built-in shoe-shine station and a walk-down basement, while new dual-zone AC and splits ensure year-round comfort. Grounds are beautiful and serene, with a street-to-street homesite of approximately .68 acres welcoming stunning mountain views, a private front yard with lawn and gardens, a private side yard with lifelike turf and towering palm trees, and a resort-caliber backyard with recently refreshed PebbleTec pool and spa, resurfaced decking and enviable privacy. Historic photos showcase Martin and fellow screen legends, including Janet Gaynor, enjoying the poolside setting. The terraced backyard's lower level is home to mature citrus trees, an open-air fireplace with ample room for seating, a newer covered patio with BBQ, a long gated driveway with ample room for guest parking, and a rotating solar array with new panels that follows the sun to maximize energy production. Additional parking is available on a paver-finished front driveway leading to an attached two-car garage.
