About This Home

As of April 2012

Do you crave the warmth and glow of the sun as it rises in the morning or as it sets in the late afternoon? If so, this is what you've been looking for! Charmingly updated on the inside with crown molding, newer countertops and appliances, shutters, lighting, furnishings (turnkey!), flooring, and paint. Enjoy your morning sunrises on the front balcony surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The large back balcony (the length of the condo) is mostly west facing, overlooking a pool and lovely greenspace area. You can enjoy the enveloping warmth of the desert sun all day while lounging on one of your balconies. Or you can relax by the pool in your backyard. In addition to the location and beautiful upgrades, the Desert Falls community, is a semi-private golf course community which offers homeowners the benefits of tennis and fitness (newly updated fitness center). Community location has easy I-10 access and is close to shopping and restaurants.
