Order up. A contemporary-style home built for Joan Kroc, the late philanthropist and ex-wife of McDonald’s Corp. franchiser Ray Kroc, is on the market in Rancho Mirage for $5.275 million.
The sleek estate sits under the shade of not golden arches, but palm trees.
Built in 1984 by Holden & Johnson Architects, the one-story home features mountain views from its 1.2-acre lot. Noted designer Steve Chase handled the interiors, which span almost 8,000 square feet. An open floor plan with high ceilings connects a grand living room and dining area.
