Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1978, the property has undergone extensive contemporary renovations and is move-in ready. The kitchen is updated with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a mix of painted and wood cabinetry. High-end finishes like travertine flooring, exposed beams, and solid alder wood doors are present throughout. Significant infrastructure upgrades, including an 84-panel solar array, Tesla EV charger, and a full gas system replacement, support the listing's claim of zero deferred maintenance. While the bathroom styling is slightly dated compared to brand-new builds, the overall quality and system maintenance align with the 'good' classification.
The property features an extensive 84-panel owned solar array and a Tesla EV charger, offering exceptional energy efficiency and significantly reduced utility costs for a home of this scale.
As the largest home and lot on the street, this 5,323-square-foot estate offers rare proportions, including 22-foot ceilings and authentic desert modernism design that cannot be replicated by modern tract builds.
Located in the prestigious Indian Wells area without the constraints of an HOA or gated community, providing homeowners with complete autonomy and no monthly association fees.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 3.
Despite contemporary updates, the 1978 construction may still feature original structural configurations or plumbing/electrical footprints that may not fully align with 2026 new-build standards.
The absence of a gated entry or community-managed security may be a drawback for high-profile buyers seeking the privacy and controlled access typical of other luxury Indian Wells enclaves.
