About this property
Welcome to this beautifully remodeled expanded St. Croix, one of the most popular floor plans in Sun City Palm Desert. Ideally positioned in the community's desirable newer section, this home enjoys a larger, pool-sized lot with convenient access to the North Gate, golf course, Dog Park, Lakeview Clubhouse and pool, practice and chipping areas, and the 18-hole putting course. The thoughtfully expanded floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a dedicated golf cart garage, and a versatile Hobby/Bonus Room with a separate entrance from the garage, creating a casita-like space ideal for hobbies, a private office, fitness room, studio, or additional flexible living space. At the heart of the home is a beautifully remodeled kitchen featuring contemporary cabinetry with pullout shelving, quartz countertops, a tumbled Travertine tile backsplash, built-in convection oven, 5-burner gas cooktop, two microwaves, and stainless-steel appliances. The open Great Room is enhanced by an electric fireplace/heater, creating an inviting focal point for everyday living and entertaining. Additional improvements include updated cabinetry throughout, energy-efficient upgraded windows and sliders, LVP flooring throughout with tile flooring in both bathrooms, and a newly painted interior. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, dual vanity, and step-in shower. Major system upgrades add even more value, including an upgraded HVAC system with NEW A/C coils in 2026, an upgraded 50-gallon water heater, and a hardwired alarm system with three control panels. Step outside to a private, low-maintenance backyard with a generous covered patio, ceiling fans, and existing wiring for a future spa or hot tub. The larger lot provides excellent potential for creating your own desert retreat or adding a pool. Sun City Palm Desert is an award-winning 55+ active adult community and the only community of its kind to earn the coveted Medallion Award of Excellence. Residents enjoy an exceptional resort-style lifestyle with golf, clubhouses, pools, fitness facilities, clubs, activities, and countless opportunities for recreation and social connection.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
