Design
Twin Palms Estate is a defining archetype of mid-century modern design that was originally designed by E. Stewart Williams in 1947 for Frank Sinatra and his first wife, Nancy Barbato as a weekend respite from the bustle of Hollywood. It has since been thoughtfully restored incorporating period specific fixtures like St. Charles cabinets and stone floor tiles with historical details like Sinatra’s original sound and recording studio and piano-shaped pool.
