About This Home
As of May 2021Sandcastles is a hidden gem in South Palm Springs adjacent to Tahquitz Creek Golf Course on land that you own. This beautifully remodeled, designer-owned home is the more rare 2-story offering with the 2nd floor completely dedicated to the primary bedroom suite with spectacular mountain views from its balcony, and a separate bath/dressing area. Downstairs is a large living room with vaulted ceiling, dining area, remodeled kitchen/bar with beveled edge quartz counter tops plus eating area, and second bedroom and bath. Floors are porcelain tile adding to the clean look and low maintenance aspect. Best of all there are multiple outdoor spaces, starting with the huge entry courtyard, plus partially covered patio off the living area overlooking the pool and mountains, patio off of upstairs bedroom, and another off the breakfast area. There is a 2-car garage and laundry area inside the unit.
