About This Home
Seller to entertain/counter offers from $725k-$775k. TOPAZ MODEL WITH CASITA | CORNER LOT | PRISTINE CONDITION. Stop searching: this is the one! Welcome to 65871 East Desert Sands Drive -- a pristine Topaz model on a large corner lot, where every detail has been upgraded, and nothing has been left to chance. Two bedrooms plus a den in the main home, and a private 439 sq ft casita that enhances everything. The main-level primary suite is your personal sanctuary -- freshly updated with new paint, beautiful new tile flooring, built-in speakers, and the kind of calm, quiet finish that makes every morning feel like a retreat. This is the lock-and-leave lifestyle done right. Fresh exterior paint (2025), all-new pool filtration with solar controller, replaced gutter drainage -- zero deferred maintenance means total peace of mind whether you're home or on the back nine. The 439 sq ft casita features a private bedroom, kitchenette, and walk-in shower, freshly painted with all-new bedding and linens. Your guests have their own world while you keep yours. This all-tile home has been completely repainted. Modern floor plan with a seamless open, free-flowing concept. The living room has an indoor/outdoor fireplace, and a custom entertainment wall with built-ins, quartz countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and up/down lighting. New refrigerator with dual ice makers, new microwave, and three new light/fan fixtures. A brand-new third bay (10' x 17') was added specifically for your golf cart -- because here, the cart is part of the lifestyle. Storage cabinets and a workbench are included. You pour your morning coffee, slide open the door, and step into your own private oasis. 7 palm trees have already created the canopy you always imagined, along with 19 newly added trees (fruit trees, bottlebrush, pines, and junipers). The pool is perfect, with its new pop-up cleaning system and warmth added by the solar panel. Friends coming this weekend? The casita is ready. Golf tomorrow? Your cart is already in the bay. Secure. Pristine. Completely yours.
