Hot Property: Former home of composer Frederick Loewe is for sale

 

The Palm Springs home owned for decades by Oscar-winning composer Frederick Loewe and the place where he wrote the score for "Camelot" is on the market for  $5.95 million.

The one-story, ranch-style house, built in 1956, has four bedrooms and three bathrooms in 4,369 square feet and sits on nearly 3 acres. In the master bedroom, Loewe put the bed and nightstand on a turntable of sorts so he could take in different views of the backyard -- a feature that remains. The house was put on the market the year after his 1988 death at $4.5 million.

So a property that listed but went unsold at $X in 2008 now is relisted at 30% more in 2009?

Good luck with that.

I'm not saying it's not a multimillion-dollar, very nice property, but jeesh.

Is that really a *ranch* style house?
