Ann Miller's House, Palm Springs

Sitting on one of Las Palmas neighborhood's biggest (and most expensive) lots, Ann Miller's house is what a great many people envision the exemplary Hollywood "dream home" to be – beautiful and bold, much like the acclaimed actress herself. Having decided against launching new construction, she chose to acquire a pre-existing 1928 property to which she added her own little touches of extravagance, which are now widely considered as timeless.

With exotic palm trees dispersed through the lawn, this home reeks of the ambiance of an archetypal oasis of paradise; a place where one can accomplish every dream.
