Las Palmas Elrod Oasis

This 4,780 square foot retreat is the perfect setting for a relaxing Palm Springs getaway. Designed inside and out by Arthur Elrod himself, this estate was Mr. Elrod’s private home from when it was built in 1962 until 1964 when he sold it to a close friend who kept it completely intact thru present day.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a reflection pool with a fountain. Another pair of doors lead into the foyer, which is raised above the living room and provides the first glimpse into the home’s remarkable and memorable interior. Directly off the living room is a wonderful entertainment space complete with a game table, sofa seating and a sunken bar stocked full of period cocktail accoutrements. The dining room is adjacent and its grand round table and chandelier provides formal seating for 8. The dining room has a view of a tented outdoor seating area, boasting an outdoor dining table for 4. There are two kitchens in this home, one prep kitchen with a dishwasher and sink right off the dining room for convenient service for dining guests, and the main kitchen sits close with direct access to the breakfast room which has seating for 4 and a view into a vibrant green bamboo garden.

The home has 4 bedrooms, each with en-suite baths and flat screen TVs. Right off the breakfast room is the Blue Room with a full bed and shares the view onto the same bamboo garden. Off the main entertainment space is the Library Room with two twin beds and a built in desk. This room has two sliding glass doors, making it the main entrance to the pool area. The hallway off the dining room leads to the other two bedrooms. The 1st boasts a striking queen size yellow canopy bed and direct access to the tented outdoor area. It’s on suite bath has the endearing charm you would expect from a home of this era. The master bedroom is really quite memorable. The set of double size side by side beds are nestled against the original custom large white bed frame that looks stunning against the room’s bright turquoise walls. The room opens up to a pool terrace shaded with canvas lattice with plenty of seating. The master dressing room and bath looks onto a lush private garden.
