on Camino Real. This house was custom built in 1960 for Dr & Mrs Don B. Campbell, who’ve owned it for all these 50 years, imagine. It was listed today for $699,000 with 2.5 acres. Check out the rendering of the foothills in 1960. You gotta love it.
The first time I saw houses like this was about 30 years ago in Palm Springs. Back then they were all over the place in PS, and I believe to this day they’re prized and preserved rather than gutted and ‘fixed up’.
And just for the heck of it I looked at the county appraisers assessment of this house and he rates the construction quality as ‘Excellent’. Now I hate to sound like a crotchety old fart but, if you look at the appraisers opinion of homes in the foothills built in the last 10 or 15 years, you’d be lucky to find 1 in 100 rated ‘Excellent’.
