Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 2001, making it 23 years old. While the listing describes it as 'beautifully maintained' and 'move-in ready,' the images show original ceramic tile flooring and dated vertical blinds. Since there is no mention of recent renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, or major systems (HVAC/Electric), the home falls into the 'Fair' category due to its age and dated aesthetic.
Located in the highly sought-after Sun City Palm Desert, the property offers access to world-class amenities including golf courses, pools, fitness centers, and extensive social clubs.
The St. Maarten model features a spacious, light-filled floor plan with a split-bedroom design that provides excellent privacy for both the primary suite and guests.
A recent $110,000 price reduction from the original listing price positions this move-in-ready home as a highly competitive and high-value opportunity in the current market.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
As part of a 55+ active adult community, the potential buyer pool is limited to a specific age demographic, which can impact long-term resale velocity.
While well-maintained, the home was built in 2001 and may require cosmetic modernizations to its original finishes to appeal to buyers seeking a contemporary aesthetic.
