4 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Palm Springs, California

CITY ID#:004373

A rare opportunity to reside in a piece of Palm Springs history. Originally commissioned in 1948 as a grand winter retreat and later reimagined by the legendary Arthur Elrod in 1961, this traditional estate offers a level of scale and sophistication rarely found today. Located in the heart of Old Las Palmas, this property combines the privacy of a gated manor with the convenience of being within walking distance to the world-class dining of the Uptown Design District.

Offering 4 beds, 4 baths, a generous open living space, and a saltwater pool and spa, this home still retains Elrod’s elegant design and is everything you need for your stay in Palm Springs.

The interiors reflect Elrod’s mastery of traditional elegance. The grand living room, anchored by a classic fireplace and soaring open-beamed ceilings, offers multiple vignettes for conversation and entertaining. A bespoke walnut bookcase provides a graceful transition to the game area, perfect for an evening of cards. High-set windows and glass sliders frame the manicured grounds, offering the quintessential "Indoor-Outdoor" lifestyle with an unobstructed view of the San Jacinto Mountains. There is a large smart TV in the living room, and the separate den/media room is a perfect spot to unwind with a book or watch TV on another large Smart TV.

Set against a dramatic mountain backdrop, the backyard is a lush, south-facing oasis. The oversized saltwater pool and spa are positioned for maximum sun exposure, while the expansive covered patio provides a shaded grandstand for outdoor dining. This is the "Old Palm Springs" lifestyle at its finest—quiet, secure, and profoundly beautiful.

The kitchen is a stunning preservation of high-end traditional design, featuring iconic St. Charles ‘desert beige’ cabinetry. This "chef’s engine room" remains remarkably relevant today, offering expansive counter space, a professional 6-burner range with griddle, three ovens, a warming drawer, and dedicated wine storage. It is a space designed for both quiet morning coffees and large-scale catering.

The large primary bedroom offers a king bed, a sitting area, and a smart TV. A slider provides gorgeous views of and direct access to the pool and spa. The en-suite bathroom features a large vanity with period finishes and a shower (the tub in this room is decorative only). You’ll also find a large dressing area and a walk-in closet so expansive that it features its own dedicated climate control.

The second bedroom is just down the hall and features a king bed and a small desk. The hall guest bath features a tiled tub/shower combo and fun mid-century details. The third bedroom is just off the kitchen and features a queen bed. This bedroom has an en-suite with a period shower and is across the house from the other bedrooms, offering a nice separation for privacy.

For the ultimate in discretion, the attached casita is reached via a charming private courtyard. Featuring a king bed, loveseat, Smart TV, beverage fridge, and en-suite bathroom, it serves as a stately sanctuary for long-term "Season" guests.

Via Las Palmas is part of Palm Springs history. You will love making it part of yours!
