It certainly is a step back in time although some are calling it mid century modern decor. It's not. The decor is late 60s - early 70s. This was the era of very bright colors and hippies. It has nothing to do with mid century modern.
Where's Sinatra, Joey Bishop and Dean? I hope whoever buys it leaves it as is, except the hideous kitchen. I'd rather have an untouched 50's home, but this one is cool.
It wold be a fun place to visit and take pics in. I couldn't live there as is, but it looks amazingly well kept. Hopefully the new owners have an extra home so they can keep it as a show piece. It is 100% impractical for real life.
Well, if you can afford the place, you can afford to remodel. (Personally, I like it!)
Living in the Bay Area, it looks like a steal. That is the same price as a newer 1 bedroom condo in San Francisco.

If they hadn't of destroyed the home by redoing the kitchen and bathroom, yes, I'd keep in exactly as it is.
Since they redid those two, I'd gut the entire thing.
I'd save the sofas and have the living room decorated around them. And the chandeliers.
Those sofas are pretty fab.
Palm Springs isn't too far from LA. Just about 90 minutes at the right time. It was a hpgetaway spot for old Hollywood because they had to stay within 100 miles of the studio and that was exactly it.
According to the link, it is listed for $850,000. I thought that sounded cheap for Palm Springs. Even with the Liberace-ish interior, it is still a nice home with over 3,000 sq. ft. in a desirable area. I figured that the only thing you could get in Palm Springs for under $1 million would be either a very dumpy, tiny, outdated ranch that needs gutted or a very nice garage.
Palm Springs real estate is surprisingly cheap. I saw some pretty decent condos with prices starting with 1xx,xxx in good locations. Considering 60s fabulous unrenovated studios in my neighborhood are $300k in my neighborhood, I was thinking that my first home should be a second home in Palm Springs.
I now have a headache after viewing those photos...
