Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a well-maintained 1957 mid-century unit that retains much of its original character but shows signs of being outdated. While it features some updates like laminate flooring and a mini-split HVAC system, the kitchen contains basic appliances and older cabinetry, and the listing itself describes the interior as a 'blank canvas' requiring modernization to reach its full potential.
Designed by renowned architects William Krisel and Dan Palmer, this mid-century masterpiece is located in a Class 1 Historic District, offering prestige and potential Mills Act tax benefits.
The property allows short-term rentals and is situated on fee simple land, making it a highly versatile asset for vacation rental investors in a sought-after South Palm Springs location.
The comprehensive HOA coverage includes electricity, water, Wi-Fi, and cable, providing significant value and simplified budgeting for a desert residence where cooling costs can be high.
At nearly $800 per month, the association fees are substantial for a 525-square-foot unit, which may deter buyers sensitive to high fixed carrying costs.
Marketed as a 'blank canvas,' the unit requires a full interior reimagining and modernization to realize its potential, necessitating additional immediate capital investment.
