More Insights

Built in 1977 (49 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1977, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel double ovens, and a cooktop island, all appearing virtually new. Bathrooms are thoughtfully updated with premium finishes, modern vanities, and contemporary tiling, including a jetted tub. New custom tile flooring spans throughout the home, complemented by LED lighting, new ceiling fans, fresh paint, and modern fixtures. While core systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) are not explicitly mentioned as new, the visible and functional components are of excellent, current quality, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Potential for Older Core Systems & HVAC: Built in 1977, while cosmetically updated, there is no explicit mention of upgrades to major core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) or a modern HVAC system, which is crucial for comfort in Desert Hot Springs' climate.
No Dedicated Garage: The 'spacious enclosed bonus room' offers flexibility but is not a standard, dedicated garage, which may be a preference for some buyers seeking secure vehicle storage.
Specific Market Appeal: Desert Hot Springs, while offering unique views and tranquility, is a specific market that may not appeal to all buyers, potentially limiting the buyer pool compared to more central or amenity-rich locations.
