This Palm Springs home (for sale) hasn't been redecorated since 1969 and looks like a Scorsese film set

Those carpets. That gargantuan coffee table.

Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The house at 2055 S Joshua Tree Place, Palm Springs, was built in 1969 and has had just one other owner since then, who decided to leave the decorations and furnishings untouched.

As such, it looks like something out of Boogie Nights or a Scorsese period film, complete with shag pile carpets, garish, patterned furnishings, regal drapes and a pool flanked by palm trees.

You can just imagine vacationing city types doing cannonballs into the pool, starlets draped on the table and a DiCaprionian party host wandering around greeting people.

"It’s in incredible condition," listing agent Lucio Bernal told Jezebel. "To re-create that stuff today would be pretty expensive."

Here’s the full description from the estate agents, in their inimitable style:

‘IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK. Take a stroll down memory lane in this meticulously preserved Twin Palms Masterpiece. This one-of-a-kind timecapsule will leave you feeling as though you've been plucked from reality and transported to a time of Cocktail Parties and Hollywood Weekend Retreats. This stunning home truly represents the epitome of Modernism and the essence Palm Springs. From the Moire wallpaper and draperies to the gold crystal chandeliers throughout, this fully furnished blast from the past will leave you asking only one question: Shaken or Stirred? Home features, a dramatic gated entry, terrazzo floors in the hallways, custom drapes, custom furniture, den with bar and custom bar stools, a fireplace, pool, spa, views of San Jacinto mountains, two car garage, and countless details and features to enhance your experience and lifestyle.’

The 3,350 square-foot property has three bedrooms and is on the market for $850,000.
