Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1973, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready, but it retains many dated stylistic elements. The interior features older carpeting, standard ceramic tile, and mirrored closet doors typical of its original era. While the home is clean and functional with a desirable open floor plan, there is no evidence of a recent comprehensive renovation to the kitchen or bathrooms, placing it in the 'fair' category based on age and lack of modern updates.
Situated in the highly desirable South Palm Desert area, this property is within walking distance to the world-class shopping and dining of El Paseo.
The condo offers exceptional up-close mountain views and overlooks lush greenbelts and the community pool from multiple vantage points.
With a significant price reduction from the original $550,000 to $459,000, the property presents a strong investment opportunity in a sought-after community.
Built in 1973, the unit may require modern updates or renovations to compete with newer luxury developments in the area.
Located directly on Highway 74, the property may experience more ambient road noise than units situated deeper within residential neighborhoods.
The history of multiple price drops since the initial listing suggests the property has faced challenges in attracting buyers at previous price points.
