Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, featuring a new HVAC system (2022), new carpet, and fresh exterior paint. However, it was built in 1997 and the kitchen and bathrooms appear to be original to the construction, featuring dated oak cabinetry and Corian countertops. While the systems are functional and the home shows pride of ownership, the lack of a full modern renovation and the 27-year age of the primary interior finishes align with the 'fair' condition criteria.
The property features significant high-ticket updates including a new HVAC system installed in 2022, a newer hot water tank, and brand-new carpeting, offering peace of mind and reduced immediate maintenance costs.
Located in Sun City Palm Desert, the home provides access to an elite 55+ lifestyle with 24-hour security, two championship golf courses, four saltwater pools, and low HOA dues.
This rare and spacious layout includes two bedrooms plus a large den and a bonus flex room, providing significantly more functional living space than a standard two-bedroom model.
While well-maintained, the 1997 construction and original Corian countertops may feel dated to modern buyers looking for contemporary luxury materials like quartz or stone.
As a 55+ community, the potential buyer pool is strictly limited by age, which can result in a longer time on market compared to non-restricted residential areas.
