British actor Emrhys Cooper seeks $2.2M for his Palm Springs retreat

A Palm Springs home owned by British actor and filmmaker Emrhys Cooper is on the market for $2.2 million.

The 2,144-square-foot California ranch dubbed “Casa de Rosa” has two bedrooms and three bathrooms. According to the listing, Cliff May is the designer of the 1940s-era house on this quarter-acre lot in The Mesa neighborhood.

Records show Cooper bought the then newly-remodeled and updated home in October 2021 for $1.5 million and even rented it through Airbnb for $357 a night. Cooper shares the house with Irish restaurateur-turned-actor and producer Donal Brophy.

The couple has filled the once all-white interiors with an abundance of rich colors and patterns.

Under the vaulted wood beam ceiling of the living room are dark walls, a fireplace and a built-in bookcase. From there, the house flows into the warmth of the dining room. It holds a tufted cocktail bar with stools.

The den has palm leaf-patterned wallpaper and wood-stained shiplap on the ceiling and walls.

Polished wood floors run throughout the house except in the kitchen. It has black and white checkered floors, stainless steel Viking appliances, a stacked washer and dryer, and a breakfast nook complete with a built-in bookcase.

Checkered floors also adorn the powder room and primary bathroom, which holds a freestanding soaking tub beneath a window and a walk-in shower.

Built-in wardrobes with desks are painted to match the walls in the ensuite bedrooms.

Outside features include a pool with a tanning shelf in the backyard and a fountain in the front yard.

Kennon Earl and Thomas Davila of Compass share the listing.

Cooper, 38, starred in the Emmy-nominated StyleHaul drama series “Vanity” alongside Denise Richards and Karrueche Tran in 2015. In 2021, he made his directorial debut with the 2021 dramedy “The Shuroo Process.” Cooper and Brophy, 44, also wrote, produced and starred in the film that racked up seven wins at various film festivals.

The couple runs the independent entertainment company Idyllwild Picture.

In 2023, the company collaborated with actor and film producer Zachary Quinto on the limited Dekkoo streaming series “Historical Homos,” which Brophy co-hosted.
