INDOOR LIVING SPACES The exterior is exemplary, mid-mod Palm Springs architecture.

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.
