Property Description

A Reimagined Retreat in Palm Desert! Set on a spacious corner lot, this thoughtfully renovated home offers the space, privacy, and ease that define desert living at its best. The backyard is the centerpiece: a sparkling pool and spa, a cascading waterfall, and generous space for entertaining under open skies. Inside, skylights bring natural light into the main living and dining area, where a sleek electric fireplace adds warmth and character to the open floor plan. The home offers 3 bedrooms and 2.25 baths, including a flexible den/office with dual closets suited to a home office, gym, or guest space. A second primary suite provides a private retreat, with sliding doors opening onto its own courtyard an ideal setting for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Practical upgrades round out the home's appeal: solar panels, a tankless water heater, and EV-ready charging reduce utility costs, while accessible attic storage adds functional space. The desert landscaping was selected for water efficiency and low maintenance, preserving curb appeal without the upkeep. Located in a well-regarded 55+ community, the home benefits from a low HOA that includes Spectrum TV, along with access to 3 clubhouses, 3 pools, and 2 golf courses. Whether as a full-time residence or a seasonal retreat, this property offers a rare combination of comfort, efficiency, and location in Palm Desert.
