The Elrod - Exclusive Vacation Home with Pool & Spa

Famed Palm Springs interior designer Arthur Elrods` own mid century home. From the Moroccan inspired facade, to the wall of windows that wraps around the pool and spa overlooking the classic sanctuary of a back yard, this home is quintessential Palm Springs! You`ll find a small citrus orchard, room for yoga, multiple outdoor retreats with a fire pit, outdoor shower, gas grill and outdoor dining for 6, and comfy lounge furniture under the stars!

This beautiful home has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths with beautiful pool/spa, fire pit with lounge and dining area in private back yard. If you love mid century design, you will love this house! It sits on one of Palm Springs most popular and architecturally exciting streets in Racquet Club Estates. Once the home of famed interior designer Arthur Elrod, this Alexander built home holds much of its original charm.

The living room/dining room has a wall of glass that looks out over a beautiful and very private back yard of mature, lush landscaping. The comfy lounge area with fire-pit is a great spot for evening cocktails or a daytime book reading. There is an outdoor shower for rinsing after swimming and an additional patio off the middle bedroom with a separate sitting area. You`ll also find a gas grill for cooking outdoors, pool floats and yoga mats.

Back inside, the living room has a cozy vintage gas fireplace and plenty of seating, TV with basic cable, Apple TV for streaming and wi-fi. The dining room has a vintage wet bar and a lovely dining table for 6 people. The kitchen has many vintage touches as well, with peg board cabinets but modern appliances and stocked with all the modern conveniences.

This home is conveniently located 8 minutes from the airport, downtown shops & restaurants, public and private golf courses, art galleries and nightlife. Palm Springs area activities include world class golf, swimming, hiking, botanical gardens, desert landscape parks, water theme park, aerial tram, tennis, gyms, horseback riding and shopping (high-end outlet mall nearby).

Also enjoy nearby Joshua Tree National Monument (an extraordinary national park set in the desert). Theme parks within two hour drive include Disneyland (Anaheim) and Sea World (San Diego).
International guests will find Palm Springs to be an ideal "home base" for day trip excursions to all your favorite Southern California destinations.
