The location
A 1959 butterfly-roof classic with walls of glass and museum-correct furnishings.
Palmcrest is a period set that happens to be a real house. The 1959 post-and-beam has its original butterfly roofline, walnut casework and terrazzo, and the owners — collectors — keep it furnished museum-correct down to the record player and the reading lamps.
The glass walls mean day interiors shoot with real exteriors in every background, and the carport reads instantly as its era with the owner’s Porsche 356 available as a picture vehicle.
A favorite for period pieces, title sequences and any brand that wants California modernism without building it.
