About This Home

As of July 2024

This house is a charmer! And its location is prime, prime, prime. Nestled in the tranquil hills of South Palm Desert, just above the El Paseo District, this sweetheart has been updated to feel inviting, relaxed, and fresh. Before you enter the front door, turn around and look at the beautiful mountain views of Santa Rosa. They're absolutely gorgeous. From the formal entry, the sparkling pool meets your eye, just begging for the doors to be opened. To the west of the entry are the kitchen, dining room, fireplace and den. The kitchen has been opened up and elevated with stylish cabinets, quartz counters, and new stainless steel LG Appliances. To the east of the entry are the bedrooms and baths, separate and private from the rest of the house. The primary bedroom and en suite bath have access to the pool and patio, and have been updated, as well. Outside in the north-facing private backyard, citrus trees, grass and desert landscaping grace the pool effortlessly, and the mountain views are spectacular. Located in the Desert Sands Unified School District, the coveted Washington Charter Elementary School is only five minutes by car. The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens, Ironwood Park, world-class El Paseo Shopping, Restaurants & Art Galleries, the McCallum Theatre, hiking trails aplenty -- all just minutes away. This is a terrific opportunity to live and thrive in the heart of South Palm Desert.
