About This Home
As of February 2025An abundance of lights and extraordinary views of the entire city and surrounding mountains welcome you to this updated home in Araby Cove. High ceilings, large windows, and numerous skylights bring the light into this fenced, private and secluded, bright and spacious home. Numerous walking and hiking trails are within mere feet of this warm and beaming home. Large low E double glazed windows throughout offer an abundance of light and the high ceilings create a very open and appealing space, affording views of the entire city! Upon entry though the gated courtyard, the home welcomes you with unobstructed views to the backyard, pool, spa and mountains. This three bedroom three bathroom home with over 2,500 sq. ft. of living space was updated in 2021 and features many sustainable and energy efficient components. Some of those many features include fully paid-off but leased Tesla solar panels, a Tesla home battery system, new energy-efficient dual-stage A/C and heat pump unit installed in 2022, a Flow Tech Max anti-scale system, a Tesla High Power car charging station as well as a 220V outlet for all electric car charging. The pool was rebuilt in 2021 and features a high efficiency heater, remote control center as well as a Sundance 880 Series Altamar 6 person spa. The large and manicured backyard features complete privacy, an outdoor built-in grill, numerous seating and dining areas all surrounded by the mountains in south Palm Springs. If high ceilings, lots of natural light, an open floor plan, two primary bedrooms, close proximity to the mountains, secluded from any street noise, and energy efficiency is important, this home could be a terrific match.
