Liberace commissioned this California estate for sale — for his mother. Take a look

It’s called “La Petite Maison,” and it’s landed on the real estate market in sunny Palm Springs, California, for $2.995 million.

On its exterior, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom home may look like your ordinary, elegant getaway from the busyness of city life, but in reality, it’s far from average.

“Exuding elegance and sophistication, legend has it that Liberace commissioned this one-of-a-kind residence for his mother Frances,” the listing on Compass says.

“Lovingly restored and upgraded with a warm and inviting feel throughout. Features include black and white marble floors, high ceilings, French doors, and smart home technology.”

“The uniqueness of the style elements and architecture, high ceilings, privacy, mountain views, manicured landscaped gardens,” listing agent Jesse Huskey said in a release. “Located in the highly coveted and famed Deepwell Estates neighborhood, this home is rare and feels like an exclusive resort.”

Liberace was a well-known pianist and singer who began his musical journey at the delicate age of 16 when he appeared as a soloist with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, his biography said. He went on to host his own variety series and would often perform in Las Vegas. He was known for his flamboyant performances and his genius music nature.

The listing is held by Huskey, David Whitworth and Romina Gil de Matos of Compass.
