Mid-Century Modern architecture fans will never be disappointed, with this jewel in the crown of Wallace Neff homes.  Located within the private Tamarisk Country Club, the home was commissioned by Harpo Marx in 1956.  Neff also designed homes for other Hollywood celebrities such as Cary Grant, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and Harpo's brother, Groucho Marx.  Several of the homes have been subsequently purchased by current mega celebrities such as Diane Keaton, Madonna and Brad Pitt.
