More Insights
Built in 2002 (23 years old).
Condition: Built in 2002, this property is 22 years old, but has undergone significant recent upgrades that elevate its condition. The description highlights a nearly-new HVAC system (1.5 years old), all-new saltwater pool equipment, and updated kitchen cabinetry. The kitchen features updated light-colored cabinets, dark granite countertops, and modern stainless steel appliances (visible refrigerator). Flooring consists of well-maintained large square tiles in living areas and modern dark grey carpeting in bedrooms. Ceiling fans are new and contemporary. While the core structure is over 20 years old, the extensive recent renovations, particularly to major systems and key interior spaces like the kitchen, ensure it is move-in ready with minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria. The absence of bathroom images prevents a full assessment of those specific areas, but the 'turn-key luxury' description suggests they are also in good, functional condition.

Turn-Key Condition: Described as 'turn-key luxury,' the home is ready for immediate occupancy with recent upgrades and a well-maintained appearance, minimizing initial effort for the new owner.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-05-05. The sold price is $680,000.00.
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: For a property marketed as 'luxury' in a resort destination like Palm Desert, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms might be considered modest by some buyers seeking more expansive living or guest accommodations.
Age of Core Structure: While significant upgrades have been made, the home was built in 2002, meaning some underlying systems (e.g., original plumbing, electrical, roof) are over two decades old, which could lead to future maintenance considerations not covered by recent cosmetic or system updates.
Potential for High Utility/Maintenance Costs: The extensive outdoor amenities, including a large saltwater pool, spa, and fire feature, combined with the desert climate, suggest potentially high ongoing utility and maintenance expenses for the backyard oasis.
