Original Construction Age: While extensively remodeled, the home's original construction year of 1961 may imply potential for underlying infrastructure issues not addressed in the description, or specific maintenance considerations for an older structure.
Potential for High Cooling Costs: The characteristic 'walls of glass' and open-concept design, while aesthetically pleasing, could lead to higher energy consumption and cooling costs in the extreme Palm Springs desert climate, especially if not paired with high-efficiency glazing or HVAC.
Unspecified Cooling System: The description does not explicitly mention the type or efficiency of the cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which is a critical feature for comfort in Palm Springs and a potential area for concern or future investment.
