Located in the best 55+ community in the valley, this rare Villa model is super desirable. It has high ceilings, transom windows, and Plantation shutters, which allow lots of light in. It has 1 bedroom with a bay window viewing the greenspace, and a slider out to the patio. The bathroom has been modified to be a fabulous upgraded full bathroom with quartz counters, a new sink and faucet, a nice soaking tub, 2 skylights, and recessed can lights. It has plenty of counter space and a great shower. The roomy kitchen is remodeled with stainless steel appliances, recessed lights, and new lower cabinets, and it's open to the dining and living rooms. All rooms have a nice view of the patio and green space. The front gated courtyard faces north for cool BBQs and outdoor enjoyment, while the back patio faces south for warmth and sunshine. This home provides the best of all seasons. The 1-car garage has been enclosed for security and cleanliness. 2 cars may be parked in the driveway 24/7, if necessary. There is a dry sauna that is currently not operable, and is sold as-is. It can be reconnected (buyer to investigate) or used for something else creative. It allows a small room for a cute little office space. This home is a duplex with an extra HOA fee of 189.00/mo. so you don't have to worry about doing yard work. It's perfect for a carefree, lock-and-go home, or a full-time residence. SUN CITY PALM DESERT IS ALL ABOUT LIFESTYLE!! It has many clubs, activities, amenities, and low HOA dues. Play at 2 championship 18-hole golf courses and practice facilities, pickle ball, tennis, softball, bocci ball, an 18-hole miniature golf course, an honor library, arts and crafts, a ballroom for special entertainment, and 4 saltwater pools kept at 87 degrees with hot tubs.

Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1993, this property has been well-maintained and features significant recent updates. The kitchen is remodeled with stainless steel appliances, new lower cabinets, and recessed lighting, presenting a clean and functional space. The bathroom has been fabulously upgraded with quartz counters, a new sink and faucet, a soaking tub, skylights, and recessed lights, giving it a modern and luxurious feel. Hardwood flooring and plantation shutters throughout the main living areas and bedroom are in excellent condition. While the property is over 20 years old, the extensive renovations in key areas (kitchen and bath) and overall pristine condition make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with a 'Good' rating. The non-operable sauna is a minor issue that does not impact the overall condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Extensive Community Amenities: Located in Sun City Palm Desert, a highly desirable 55+ community offering two championship golf courses, pickleball, tennis, multiple pools, restaurants, clubs, and a vibrant social lifestyle.
Remodeled & Upgraded Interior: The property features a remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances and new lower cabinets, alongside an upgraded bathroom with quartz counters, a soaking tub, and skylights.
Bright & Well-Designed Living Space: High ceilings, transom windows, and Plantation shutters allow abundant natural light, complemented by an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area.
Optimal Outdoor Living & Views: Includes a north-facing gated courtyard for cool outdoor enjoyment and a south-facing back patio for warmth and sunshine, both offering pleasant greenspace views.
Low Maintenance/Lock-and-Go Lifestyle: As a duplex with an additional HOA fee covering yard work, this home is ideal for a carefree, lock-and-go, or full-time residence without the burden of exterior maintenance.

Cons

High Combined HOA Fees: The property incurs a significant combined HOA fee of $587/month ($398 main HOA + $189 duplex fee), which may be a considerable recurring cost for potential buyers.
Limited Living Space: With only one bedroom and one bathroom across 1063 sqft, the property's appeal is limited to singles or couples who do not require additional space for guests or a larger family.
Non-Operable Sauna (As-Is): The dry sauna is currently not operable and is sold in 'as-is' condition, requiring buyer investigation and potential investment for repair or removal.
