Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1998, this property is exceptionally well-maintained and qualifies as move-in ready. While the cabinetry appears original, the kitchen features updated granite counters and stainless appliances. Significant value is found in the upgraded systems, including a dual-zone HVAC with air scrubbers and an electrical panel prepped for EV charging. Recent cosmetic updates like fresh tile flooring in bedrooms and a replastered saltwater pool with a pebble finish elevate the condition above the standard 'Fair' rating for its age.
The property features a saltwater pool and spa with a gemstone pebble finish, framed by uninterrupted mountain views and an east-facing orientation that provides essential afternoon shade.
Equipped with dual-zone HVAC and air scrubbers, an upgraded electrical panel ready for solar/EV charging, and remote-controlled solar shades, the home offers superior efficiency and air quality.
Located in a gated community with exceptionally low HOA dues ($108), the home is within walking distance to Bristol Farms and minutes from the luxury shopping and dining of El Paseo.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 4.
Built in 1998, the home's overall architectural style and some original finishes may feel dated compared to the contemporary new-construction designs currently trending in the Palm Desert market.
A price reduction within the first 21 days on market suggests the initial list price was slightly ahead of current market sentiment, potentially signaling a need for aggressive positioning.
Tucked behind the quiet gates of Merano, this move-in-ready residence makes a case for the unhurried desert life. The three-bedroom, three-bath floor plan, plus a flexible den, opens into a generous living room that flows easily to the dining area, the kind of layout that invites long dinners and easy gatherings. Light is the first thing you notice: high ceilings and an abundance of windows draw the desert sun deep into the home, while remote-controlled drop-down solar shades on the east and south exposures temper the glare and keep the spaces calm and private.The kitchen is built for company, with granite counters, updated stainless appliances, and an alkaline water filtration system at the sink. The primary suite is its own retreat, offering a walk-in closet and a bath with both a soaking tub and a separate shower, and fresh tile flooring runs through all the bedrooms.Outside, the pool and spa anchor a backyard framed by uninterrupted mountain views. Replastered with a gemstone pebble finish and running on a saltwater system, it sits on the east side of the property, slipping into shade through the hottest summer afternoons, a small but meaningful comfort out here. A retractable awning extends the shade over the back patio, making the space easy to enjoy from morning into evening.Behind the finishes, the home is quietly well kept: dual-zone HVAC paired with air scrubbers for cleaner indoor air, a perimeter camera system, a finished garage with epoxy floors and generous storage, and an upgraded electrical panel already prepped for solar and an EV charger. Low HOA dues and an enviable location seal it, with Bristol Farms directly across the way, Starbucks and casual dining a block off, the Eisenhower Health campus minutes away, everyday essentials like Costco and Home Depot just north, and the shops and restaurants of El Paseo close at hand. Ready when you are.
