Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1989 (37 years old), the property is well-maintained and move-in ready but remains largely dated. While the kitchen features updated granite, the presence of popcorn ceilings, gold-framed mirrored closets, and original cabinetry styles suggests the last significant updates were likely over 15-20 years ago, placing it in the fair category.
The allowance of short-term rentals in this community provides a significant advantage for investors looking to generate high-yield vacation rental income.
The upper-level positioning offers panoramic fairway and mountain views, providing a superior visual experience compared to ground-floor units.
Membership includes access to a championship golf course, fitness center, tennis, pickleball, and 29 pools, offering an exceptional resort lifestyle.
The association fee of $871 per month is substantial and may deter budget-conscious buyers or impact the net ROI for investors.
As an upper-level villa, the unit requires stair access, which may limit its appeal to buyers with mobility concerns or those preferring single-level living.
Positioned on the golf course behind the gates of Desert Falls Country Club, this upper-level villa offers panoramic fairway and mountain views, short-term rentals are permitted, and it is conveniently located in central Palm Desert. The open living area is anchored by a classic gas fireplace and a built-in wet bar, with large sliding glass doors that extend the living space to a balcony overlooking the greens. The kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, updated granite countertops, and a pass-through window that seamlessly connects to the dining area. The primary suite includes a semi-circular sunburst window, mirrored closets, a spacious en-suite bath with a walk-in shower, and direct access to the main balcony. A comfortable guest bedroom and a second full bath complete the layout. Two-car garage parking is included. Desert Falls Country Club amenities include a Championship Golf Course, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, and 29 pools and spas throughout the community.
