Iconic Hollywood costume designer Edith Head<\/strong> was known for her style, creativity, and remarkable ability to convey emotions and messages through clothes.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s apparent that those same sensibilities came into play when she designed the interiors of her former Palm Springs, CA<\/a>, home, now on the market for $1,595,000.<\/p>\n

The influential, eight-time Oscar winner died in 1981 at age 83. But before that, she reigned over costume design in Hollywood for decades.<\/p>\n

Her former getaway\u2014a brick, plaster, and rustic-wood home\u2014was built in 1957 and retains many of her stylish flourishes today.<\/p>\n

Original elements<\/h2>\n

The 2,200-square-foot, Spanish-style villa features many architecturally intriguing elements, including tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed-brick walls, and polished-paver flooring. Dark, rustic-wood accents the ceilings, doors, molding, and built-ins. Meanwhile, colorful Spanish tiles add brightness throughout.<\/p>\n

The front entryway is clad in brick and tile.<\/p>\n

The primary suite abounds with classic features such as a tiled fireplace and a wood-beamed ceiling. But it\u2019s not without contemporary luxuries: There\u2019s a walk-in closet, a bath with a walk-in shower, and glass doors that lead out to a private patio.<\/p>\n

The primary bedroom comes complete with a fireplace.<\/p>\n

The 8,712-square-foot lot is ripe with amenities that make the most of the arid, desert environment. They include fountains; a covered and draped patio; a blue-tiled, saline pool with a palmed peninsula; graveled pathways; and multiple citrus trees\u2014lime, lemon, and orange.<\/span><\/p>\n

The pool is surrounded by landscaping.<\/p>\n

Prime locale<\/h2>\n

This home is just blocks to the downtown Palm Springs<\/a> area, with its restaurants and shops. And it\u2019s only a block away from a 22-acre park.<\/p>\n

Starting in 1924, Head worked for the Paramount studio, then moved to Universal in 1967, where she stayed until she died. She designed costumes for many movie stars, including Mae West<\/strong>, Ginger Rogers<\/strong>, and Fred Astaire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
