Property Description
A rare mid-century estate, formerly the residence of Donald P. Kennedy, renowned philanthropist and influential proprietor of First American Title Company. This stunning four-bedroom, 3-bathroom estate is beautifully situated on nearly half an acre of meticulously manicured grounds, featuring a sparkling pool, expansive yard, a newer four-car garage perfect for a car enthusiast, and a separate golf cart garage with its own private double-gated entrance. Panoramic, snow-capped views of the San Jacinto Mountains, including San Gorgonio, the Santa Rosa Mountains and the Little San Bernardino range, create a breathtaking backdrop. Ideally located within walking distance – or a short golf cart ride- to the Shops at El Paseo, often haled as the ‘Rodeo Drive of the Desert,’ this estate offers the perfect blend of historic significance, luxury, and quintessential Palm Desert lifestyle.
