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!

Family vacation. Multi-generational
Family Stay
Ang and Jim G., Edmonton, AB CA
Great home for a multi generational family getaway. Beautiful mountain views, a great pool, lemon trees in the yard, and a cool mid-century vibe. Great indoor space with a beautiful fireplace to add great ambience, cosy, and yet spacious enough for our group of 8. Altamira staff were great to work with.

Palm Springs Paradise
Shana G., Phoenix, AZ United States
This home has it all in the heart of the best neighborhood in Palm Springs. Very well kept and well stocked -all necessities are made available to you. Perfect layout of bedrooms and bathrooms. The backyard oasis with pool and patio is so serene and such a great space to unwind and relax. Morning walks in this neighborhood are unbeatable. Host and management were amazing to work with. We want to make this a yearly trip now.
Beautiful home in great neighborhood
Shelby H
Our stay here with family and friends was wonderful. The house is large and pool area is just lovely. Beds were comfy with nice linens. Great neighborhood for walking and taking in the views and architecture.
Great for Groups!
Matt C
Private, well maintained house with great spaces for being together with friends and family.
Great stay!
Ross S
Stayed there with my spouse, dad and our two kids. Beautiful home and plenty of space for us. Hot tub and pool plus actual grass were awesome for all of us. Location is convenient though closer to palm canyon road than we realized (no traffic issues though).
Family stay
James C., Rochester, MI United States
all good and enjoyed by my Girls - only issue was the foam type mattress in MBr - just not our preference.

Great location! We had an issue with water flow in the showers and the property management company was right on top of it.

If you're looking for authentic, mid-century modern with a great location, this is the place. It's vintage but very well maintained.
Perfect Stay!
Bill B
Great space - perfect week at the house!
Fabulous Stay
Kelsey
We had a fabulous stay at the Las Palmas home. The location is convenient, the neighborhood peaceful, the property beautiful and well-appointed - and that backyard! Our group of 8 felt right at home and had plenty of space to spread out. The hosts were extremely responsive, helpful and flexible. We would absolutely love to return.
Great family vacation
Recent Guest, Ukiah, CA United States
Lovely stay for our family of seven in Old Las Palmas. The home is comfortable and has an entertaining mid-century character. The location is wonderful: charming neighborhood and we walked to dinner every evening we dined out.
Wonderful stay in Old Las Palmas
Mary W
We just LOVED this wonderful home in Old Las Palmas. Very large yet has an intimate feel. The beds were magnificent, we had everything we needed in the kitchen, beautiful pool and spa, spectacular view of the mountains, walking distance from downtown (but VERY quiet neighborhood). The house was built in the 40s and updated in the 60s so there is both a wonderful combination of old Hollywood and Mid-Century Modern. Palm Springs at its best.

Palm Springs Mid Century classic
Grant C
This is a wonderful home with a great location in the Old Las Palmas area. Its a classic property, ideal for those who appreciate mid-century design and are willing to be gentle with its collection of furniture pieces and the original fixtures. Its also very private with lovely surprises like four lemon trees out front, a great spa, and wonderful views. We highly recommend this property

Beautiful, stylish home. Great pool. Excellent all around.
Dream location
Recent Guest, Seattle, WA United States
Eight of us (four couples) stayed here and had a great vacation. With four large bedrooms and four large bathrooms the place easily accommodated the eight of us. Loved the pool and hot tub as well. Quite close to great dining and downtown. Couldn’t recommend the place highly enough!
Top Notch Experience!
Galliane
We had a wonderful time spend Xmas at this house. The interior design is beautiful, feeling very Palm Springs while being very comfy and feeling spacious for 7 people. The kitchen is very big and well equipped to cook a holiday meal. The pool was heated at a perfect temperature and it was great to be able to swim in December. Overall a top notch experience!
Charming and Beautiful!
Stacy
Such a charming, beautiful, clean home in the best location!! It was a wonderful experience!
Great home.
Seth
The location is perfect. Extremely well decorated and spacious floor plan. We would gladly rent again.
Great design!
Sabas
We’ve stayed with Altamira Vacation homes many times before and it’s because they consistently have great houses with fantastic furnishings (design and aesthetics matter and when done right, make you happy) and most importantly, they go out of their way to make the whole process as easy as possible. This house is just another great example of Altamira’s good work. Will definitely come back again. Thanks.
Lovely family stay
Recent Guest, Ukiah, CA United States
Our family enjoyed a relaxing stay in this well-kept, architecturally interesting, well-appointed home. The neighborhood is beautiful, and the location very convenient. We loved being able to have every meal outside on the covered patio, and appreciated the pool every day.

Stunning Property
Elizabeth McDermon
This is an absolutely stunning property managed by a top notch rental agency. Everything about our experience was perfection. And the home is as gorgeous as the photos...which is not always the case. But with this one, it’s even better in real life. We traveled with our 3 kids and my parents. The addition of the separate “casita” suite with a king bed and bath makes for an amazing set up for grandparents to escape the noise of the main house when needed. Highly recommend for multi-generational trips (with kids old enough to respect the beautiful furniture!!).
Best rental ever
Elizabeth M., Brooklyn, NY United States
This is one of the most stunning homes we have ever rented. It’s hard to believe the beautiful pictures are real, but they are - the mountains and palm trees in the background while swimming or dining outdoors are simply breathtaking. The interior is beautifully maintained and wonderfully representative of the Palm Springs mid-century style (the kitchen is highly functional while a total throwback in time). I can’t say enough kind words about the Altamira staff - they were thorough, communicative, humorous, and all around lovely. Highly recommend this property and property manager.
The best!
Jennifer
A great house in the best neighborhood in Palm Springs. It was a peaceful stay and had so many birds in attendance out in the bougainvillea people on my work calls thought someone was playing birdsong back ground music. The home and landscaping are more detailed and lush in person. It is citrus season and the lemons were lovely. Expertly managed and hosted by Lars. Much appreciated all the great books in the home as well. Will be coming back for another stay!

We had a very relaxing and enjoyable time at our VRBO home. It was so well-appointed and had everything we needed. The house was beautifully decorated with classic and tasteful mid-century decor. We also appreciated how attentive the VRBO staff was with every question and concern. We got responses immediately. The location was also a huge bonus being so close to Palm Canyon Drive with all the fun shops and restaurants in short walking distance. The house was still very quiet and peaceful located in a great neighborhood of large, gated homes. We were very pleased with our stay.
