About this property
Welcome to your private Palm Springs retreat, where sweeping mountain views, resort-style amenities, and effortless indoor-outdoor living create the ultimate desert escape. This property also presents an exceptional opportunity for co-ownership in one of Palm Springs’ most desirable neighborhoods. Elevated in the desirable Chino Canyon neighborhood and tucked behind an automated gate, this boho-chic 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers approximately 2,012 square feet of bright, thoughtfully designed living space just minutes from downtown Palm Springs. The spacious open floor plan flows seamlessly from the inviting great room into the remodeled kitchen, featuring newer appliances, double ovens, skylights, and generous counter space. Three distinct dining areas provide the perfect setting for every occasion; enjoy casual meals in the eat-in kitchen, gather in the formal dining area, or dine alfresco beside the pool and fire pit. Each generously sized bedroom offers privacy and comfort, including a primary suite with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet. Recent improvements include updated flooring, and a newer A/C system. Outside, your secluded desert oasis awaits. Relax in the gated saltwater pool and spa with a soothing waterfall, gather around the gas fire pit, enjoy outdoor meals from the BBQ, or unwind beneath the custom pergola. Mature fruit trees, swaying palms, multiple seating areas, and a dramatic mountain backdrop make the backyard ideal for entertaining, morning coffee, or evenings spent stargazing. Additional highlights include a newer pool heater, variable-speed pool pump, fresh exterior paint, garage laundry, and an owned 18-panel solar system for enhanced energy efficiency. The home has also been a successful short-term rental for the past five years, and with the surrounding area currently below its short-term rental capacity, it offers added potential for future short-term rental use.
