Bennion Deville Homes Home of the Week: 1333 East Via Estrella, Palm Springs

Hidden by an understated façade, this spectacular 1969 custom-built home designed by notable American interior designer Arthur Elrod, Jr. exemplifies glamour, sophistication, and panache.  Elrod, known for the prominent Southridge home of his own namesake, was killed at the young age of 49 in a tragic car accident just 5 years after completion of this amazing masterpiece. He was partners with fellow designer Hal Broderick, who started “Elrod & Associates” and went on to hire other notable designers such as Steve Chase and William Raiser.
