About This Home

As of February 2024

Amazing opportunity to own an architecturally significant home and a piece of Hollywood history. Legendary cowboy actor William Boyd better known as "Hopalong Cassidy" designed this home in 1955 and is believed to have been built by famed architect/builder Charles W. Doty as Boyd's personal residence. Many incredible and original vintage features are still intact including the post-beam ceilings, salt-pepper Terrazzo fireplace, unique Boomerang layout design with great separation of space, breezeblock accent walls, and custom screen decor with an "HC" pattern. This art-filled home has a ton of improvements to provide you with 21st Century comforts while maintaining the classic Mid-Century aesthetics. Upgrades include new roof, interior-exterior paint, AC units, tankless water heater, updated kitchen, updated bathrooms, slate flooring through-out, remodeled salt water pool with all new rebar, pebble tech surfacing, pool equipment with solar heating, energy efficient spa, misting system, landscaping with mature privacy hedges, irrigation, low voltage lighting, EV car charging and owned solar with a 25 year warranty. This very cool home is situated on a massive 13,500 sq ft lot and has a detached studio with AC that was converted from Boyd's tool shed and can be use as a creative space, office or guest room. Conveniently located minutes from El Paseo, art galleries, award winning dining, shopping, hiking trails, golf, and all that Palm Desert has to offer. Truly a unique property with historic architectural value. Check out the virtual walkthrough.
