Modern Palms
The Modern Palms Classic Midcentury Estate with Pool and Hot Tub from VILLAWAY®

This modern luxury estate is a 4-bedroom mid-century home located in the heart of the Movie Colony. Designed by Herbert Burns in 1950, a "founding father" of the Desert Modern movement, the home has been restored to embody Old Hollywood charm with a 21st century take on the mid-century modern aesthetic. The restoration in 2018 followed the original Arthur Elrod-designed interior, preserving the fondness for dramatic angles and exuberant colors, while updating the look with new furniture, technology, and artwork.

Upon entering the home, guests are welcomed into a spacious great room with multiple seating areas, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, vintage bar, and original Leroy Newman artwork. The great room is designed with shades of Elrod-inspired colors, and features a plush, wrap-around sofa, a Z-style loveseat, and a full-length sofa with accent pillows facing a large-screen Smart TV. A vintage bar opens onto the backyard through wide glass doors, allowing for easy outdoor drink service, while four high-backed barstools provide seating. ...
