Description

Welcome to The Bruno Bernard Estate! 

Spend your vacation in this very private poolside paradise that was once the estate of Bruno Bernard –The photographer who made Marilyn Monroe famous.

This Mid century Modern property captures the sophisticated Palm Springs vibe of yesteryear. The Bruno Bernard Estate is both glamorously nostalgic and very “next century.” The architectural pedigree was lovingly preserved when the property was completely remodeled a few yeas agor. New kitchen and baths, high speed internet access, flat screen televisions and an ultra modern climate control system. The owners have combined classic architecture, mid century style and modern-day comfort to create a spectacular luxury vacation home in true Palm Springs-style.

THE OUTDOOR SPACES

Breathtaking are the views from this back yard. This is the best you will find here in the desert. The entire estate is completely enclosed for privacy. Once inside the gates, you will feel as though you have wandered into an episode of Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. The backyard is very Palm Springs-chic with breathtaking views of the San Jacinto Mountains. A grand pool and large hot tub is where you will spend most of your days and nights! Lounge poolside in the full sun, enjoy sun sets over the stunning mountain views, followed by long nights sipping martini’s with your travel companions out at the newly built fire pit that overlooks the entire backyard oasis. 

THE LIVING SPACES

Built as a celebrity desert escape, this home has a luxurious open floor plan that blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The great room provides an impressive yet welcoming space to spend time with your entire group. You’ll find inside dining for 6, a fireside lounging area with plenty of seating and a flat screen television. The kitchen has been completely remodeled with beautiful granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Floor to ceiling windows and sliders reveal the panoramic views of the mountains, pool & yard that looks as though it was ripped from the pages of Architectural Digest.

THE SLEEPING QUARTERS

Like an upscale boutique hotel, the main house bedrooms feature king bedrooms feature High end linens, hospitality-quality mattresses, flat screen televisions and ample storage. Each room is flooded with light, high ceilings and a mid century flair. The Casita, a private retreat in itself, features a king bed, tall ceilings, kitchenette, and a spa like en-suite bathroom with shower and a jetted bathtub.

A PART OF PALM SPRINGS HISTORY

This private estate was the home of photographer Bruno Bernard.

Bruno Bernard started it all for Marilyn Monroe here in Palm Springs in introducing her photographs to Johnny Hyde the vice president of the William Morris Agency. From there a star was born. Bernard’s most famous photograph of Marilyn was taken on the set of the 1954 movie “The Seven-Year Itch” in a white halter dress with a billowing pleated skirt. Bernard earned himself a place in Palm Springs and Hollywood History by photographing and building the careers of many starlets .

Today, Leonardo DiCaprio owns property in the neighborhood as do some of the biggest stars of television today.

Wonderful indoor/outdoor flow. The property is beautiful inside and out. It is Palm Springs at it's best - modern, clean and wonderful indoor/outdoor connection. We spent a good amount of time outside enjoying the expansive backyard with multiple areas to lounge.

Bruno bruno bruno. I know what you were doing when you got this idyllic mid-century modern home. I know why you wanted impeccable landscaping, 10 foot walls and the perfect pool. Pictures!! INFLUENCERS GET ON THIS. Everywhere I turned, I thought, Marilyn was here! And Bruno probably couldnt stop taking pictures. GEOMETRIC cinderblock backdrops, beautiful plants and color pops everywhere. This place is private, warm, inviting, inspiring, modern, interesting, sexy, fun, RELAXING, serene and Palm Springs PROPER people. It has everything you need and more. Cant get a better location. I honestly feel like we got a deal! Cant imagine the price not going up. Get it while you can. We will be going back

This home is SPECTACULAR! This is not just a house being used as an Airbnb, this really is someones home you are stepping in to. There is everything you could imagine in the kitchen and all the basics throughout the house. We were two couples and one single adult and the space was comfortable, plenty of hiding spots around the property. The outdoor area is very special as well with amazing views of the mountains and lots of space to relax throughout the day. Would 10/10 recommend!
