Elvis Presley's Palm Springs, California residence located at 845 West Chino Canyon Road is on the market with an asking price of $3.9 million. Though it’s no Graceland mansion and it’s certainly not the singer’s Beverly Hills Estate. This Albert Frey-designed home could be the perfect purchase for a fan.
As the story goes, Reno Fontana, a big fan of Elvis Presley purchased the home from a Japanese businessman in 2003 for about $1.25 million and dubbed it 'Graceland West'. Over the years, he used the estate to promote Elvis Presley by giving house tours and hosting Elvis related events. However, the bank foreclosed on Fontana and another investor Rade Raicevic took over the home. Raicevic wanted to sell it off for $4 million but he also ran into financial trouble and in 2012, the U.S. Bank National Association took over the home, reports Curbed.
While the ownership of Graceland West is still disputable, it has
hit the listing market for almost $4 million.
