Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this condo is well-maintained with recent cosmetic updates like fresh paint and new bedroom carpet. One bathroom has been extensively and beautifully updated with modern finishes. However, the kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, older countertops, and white appliances, indicating it has not been recently renovated. The tile flooring in the main living areas also appears dated. While functional and move-in ready, the property shows its age in key areas and would benefit from further updates to the kitchen and potentially the second bathroom to align with current styles.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: The property boasts 'Amazing views in all directions,' encompassing city lights, desert, hills, mountains, and the community pool, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Recent Interior Updates: The condo features fresh interior paint, new bedroom carpet, and updated tile flooring throughout, including a nicely updated main bathroom, offering a move-in ready condition.
Desirable Location & Accessibility: Strategically located just a few miles from El Paseo's fine dining and shopping, and blocks from great hiking trails, providing excellent lifestyle amenities.
Community Amenities: Residents have convenient access to a community pool and spa, located just below the unit, adding recreational value and convenience.
Dedicated Parking & Private Patio: The property includes both a one-car garage and a one-car carport, along with a large, gated back patio, offering valuable private outdoor space and ample parking.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1978, the property's age suggests that while cosmetic updates have been made, major systems (e.g., HVAC, plumbing, electrical) may be original or nearing the end of their lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
Monthly Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $425.0 adds a significant recurring cost to ownership, which can impact affordability and long-term budgeting for potential buyers.
Unspecified Cooling System: Given Palm Desert's hot climate, the description does not explicitly mention the type or condition of the cooling system, which could be a concern for comfort and energy efficiency.
