Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989, the property appears to be in mostly original condition with no significant modern updates. The kitchen features dated laminate countertops with wood trim, older white appliances, and vinyl flooring. The interior shows signs of wear, including aged carpeting and dated fixtures such as mirrored closet doors and a mirrored wet bar. While the home is functional and maintained, it reflects the style of its construction era and requires cosmetic modernization to meet current 'good' or 'excellent' standards.
The property features stunning double-fairway views of the 17th hole and mountains from a large sunrise-facing balcony, significantly enhancing its aesthetic appeal.
The HOA provides comprehensive services including guard-gated security, fitness center access, tennis, and pickleball, while also covering cable, internet, and earthquake insurance.
With a highly motivated seller and a competitive price point, this unit represents one of the strongest values for a guard-gated community in the Palm Desert area.
