Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1979, this property is significantly dated with no evidence of recent major renovations. The kitchen features original-style dark cabinetry, white tile countertops with deep grout lines, and a fluorescent light box, all of which are over 20 years old. While the home appears well-maintained and functional, the interior finishes—including the carpet, mirrored walls, and brass fixtures—require comprehensive cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.

Ideally situated within walking distance to the College of the Desert and close to premier shopping and dining, providing high convenience and strong potential for appreciation.
The property includes a rare 2-car attached garage and access to Monterey Sands' premium facilities, including two pools, spas, and tennis courts.
The property is noted as having no views, which may be a drawback in a desert market where mountain or landscape vistas are highly valued by buyers.
