INDOOR LIVING SPACES
The exterior is exemplary, mid-mod Palm Springs architecture. The well-designed interior fosters togetherness in the open design, and also supports more intimate groupings in the varied living spaces. The vibe is set for conversing, curling up on the settee, playing chess or sipping your favorite cocktails served up at the bar.

Rare memorabilia from the Chi Chi Supper Club adorn the interior walls. The art deco style living room embodies a Tahitian style, featuring retro Polynesian art and sculpture.

The living area of this home includes a sunken conversation area with a flagstone and slate fireplace. Jazz enthusiasts will be delighted by the original Chi Chi Lounge piano, which sits just to the left of the fireplace. You can almost hear Peggy Lee or Ella Fitzgerald belting out a tune while Buddy Greco tickles the ivories on the upright piano.

The Chi Chi House living room includes a TV area where you can relax and stream your favorite shows. Browse the web or dock your iPhone or iPad to enjoy your favorite music.

The fully-equipped kitchen and bar area offers a retro, classic vibe with thick granite countertops, state-of-the-art stainless appliances, and original retro fixtures. The original owner’s daughter remembers everyone from Rudy Valle and Jane Russell to Johnny Mathis & Louis Armstrong helping themselves to coffee in the adorable pink & white kitchen. You’re in good company here!

Enjoy views of the pool from the glass top breakfast table with upholstered seating for four. Mix a highball at the sleek bar with original club chairs from the Starlite Room. Gather for conversations in the sunken living room or formal dining table with retro seating for six.
