Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1966, this property has undergone significant and stylish renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, chic butcher block countertops, and contemporary dark cabinetry. Both bathrooms are extensively updated with modern vanities, high-quality tile work (including unique geometric patterns and wood-look textures), and modern gold-toned fixtures, giving them a very current and appealing aesthetic. Flooring in the bedrooms appears to be newer wood-look material, while main living areas have clean, neutral tile. The light fixtures throughout are also modern. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovation needs, aligning with a 'Good' rating. However, the property's age (1966) and the lack of explicit details regarding updates to major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical) prevent an 'Excellent' score, as these underlying components may not be as recently updated as the visible cosmetic features.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 14375, living area = 1740.
Situated in the highly desirable Movie Colony East neighborhood, offering a short stroll to Ruth Hardy Park and central Palm Springs amenities.
The property boasts breathtaking mountain views, providing an unforgettable backdrop, especially during Palm Springs' famous sunsets.
Built in 1966, the property's age may imply potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, insulation) that might require future updates beyond the cosmetic renovations mentioned.
Given Palm Springs' hot climate, the description does not explicitly mention a modern or updated cooling system (AC), which could be a significant comfort and energy efficiency concern for potential buyers.
While offering potential, the 'blank canvas' backyard implies substantial additional cost and effort for the buyer to develop their desired outdoor oasis, which may not appeal to those seeking a fully landscaped, move-in ready outdoor space.
Step into your own slice of paradise in the heart of the highly desirable Movie Colony East neighborhood. This updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath gem comes with an Abundantly sized Lot with Expansive Mountain VIEWS! The open and refreshed kitchen features chic butcher block countertops and modern appliances, and it leads to an enclosed patio with a cozy wood-burning fireplace, perfect for year-round relaxation. The home’s layout offers both functionality and charm, with a formal living room boasting a gas fireplace, a dedicated dining area, and a bonus room or study for added versatility. An attached 2-car garage rounds out the conveniences. But the real magic happens outside. The oversized backyard is brimming with potential, offering a blank canvas for your ultimate outdoor oasis. Think pool parties, tranquil gardens, or cozy firepit evenings under the stars. And those mountain views? Simply breathtaking. Pair them with Palm Springs’ famous sunsets, and you’ve got an unforgettable backdrop every single day. All of this sits on fee simple land (no lease to worry about!) and is just a short stroll to Ruth Hardy Park, making it the ideal spot for peaceful retreats or vibrant desert living.
