The Palms House

An Evocative Mid-Century Gem

We love this evocative mid-century gem with its classic vintage features, glamorous period detail and beautifully adapted fine art and furnishings. Renovated with a reverence for its architectural significance and featured on the Travel Channel and Domino magazine as an affordable rental option in Palm Springs, this home is a well-preserved modern beauty!

Located in the Twin Palms neighborhood of South Palm Springs, this 3,000 square foot mid-century gem has been given a thoughtful and meticulous update that perfectly showcases the original period features and detail. An elegant 1960s original, the classic columned entrance gives way to bright open-plan living spaces that stay true to the period. The art is largely by Los Angeles contemporary artists with furnishings by mid-century designers such as Milo Baughman and Richard Schultz.

Divided by a double-sided fireplace with walls of glass, the living area overlook the pool and the mountains. Opposite is the formal dining room and a fully equipped kitchen adjacent to the pool and wet bar.

Each of the four bedrooms is dreamy and inviting, with a bathroom featuring Heath tile, and terrazzo floors and counters to emulate the original terrazzo entry, while the primary features a dramatic soaking tub surrounded by an enclosed cactus garden. The fourth bedroom has a private entrance with two queen beds and a media lounge with an attached half bath.

The grounds are landscaped with fruit trees that encircle the property with outdoor dining and lounges set for that perfect afternoon craft cocktail poolside. If you're looking for a vacation rental home in Palm Springs, this is it!  

AROUND

Located at the south end of the city, the Twin Palms neighborhood is a mid-century haven of historical homes. Adjacent to Indian Canyons neighborhood, it’s also a short walk to the many shops and restaurants and close to the bustling city center. Further afield, the San Jacinto Mountains rise above the desert floor and are lined with miles of hiking trails at a cooler elevation.
