THIS BEAUTIFUL HOME FEATURES a three-phase leased solar system with a combined payment of $530 per month that includes 3 TESLA back up batteries. For many households in this region, traditional electric bills commonly far exceed this amount--especially during high-usage months (can be upwards to $2,000 depending on individual usage). With the solar lease, buyers can enjoy predictable, fixed monthly costs instead of fluctuating utility bills, and may significantly reduce or even offset their electric bill depending on their personal usage.Because the panels are leased, all system maintenance, monitoring, and repairs are handled by the solar company, providing peace of mind and minimizing unexpected expenses.This setup allows the next homeowner to START BENEFITING from solar immediately without the upfront purchase cost while enjoying stable energy payments and professionally managed equipment.This system produces significantly more power than a standard residential solar set up (which would provide only 20 panels and no credits) and this system offers predictable monthly energy costs. 11 HILLCREST FEATURES: 4 full bedrooms 3.5BA, add'l office/den, 3 full-car garage w/AC, Updated kitchen & spa-inspired primary bath; Pristine pool & spa surrounded by privacy; Covered patios for lounging & al fresco dining. Whole house water softener system and a price improvement that makes this an incredible value. If predictable power costs, energy efficiency, and long term savings are important to you, this is a home worth viewing.

Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 2000, is 24 years old. However, it features an explicitly 'updated kitchen' and a 'spa-inspired primary bath' which appears to have been extensively renovated recently (likely within the last 5-10 years) with modern, high-quality fixtures, including a freestanding tub and a contemporary walk-in shower. The kitchen, while having a more traditional cabinet style, is well-maintained with modern stainless steel appliances and solid countertops. The overall property is in pristine, move-in ready condition with well-kept tile and carpet flooring, modern ceiling fans, and good curb appeal. While not a brand-new build or a full top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years, the significant updates to key areas and the overall excellent maintenance qualify it as 'Good'.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Advanced Leased Solar System: Features a three-phase leased solar system with 3 Tesla backup batteries, offering significant power generation, predictable monthly energy costs ($530/month), and potential for substantial savings in a high-usage region like Palm Desert.
Maintenance-Free Energy Solution: The leased solar system includes professional maintenance, monitoring, and repairs by the solar company, providing peace of mind and eliminating unexpected costs for the homeowner.
Updated Key Interior Spaces: Boasts an updated kitchen and a spa-inspired primary bath, appealing to modern buyer preferences for renovated, functional, and luxurious living spaces.
Desirable Outdoor Living: Features a pristine pool and spa surrounded by privacy, along with covered patios, ideal for relaxation and al fresco dining, enhancing the Palm Desert lifestyle.
Comprehensive Amenities & Value: Includes 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, an additional office/den, a 3-car garage with AC, a whole-house water softener, and a recent price improvement, offering excellent value and functionality.

Cons

Leased Solar System Obligation: The solar system is leased, meaning the buyer incurs a fixed $530 monthly payment and does not own the asset, which could be a consideration for some buyers regarding long-term ownership and financing.
Property Age & Potential System Lifespan: Built in 2000, the property is 24 years old. While interior updates are mentioned, the age suggests that major systems (e.g., HVAC, roof, water heater) may be original or nearing the end of their typical lifespan, potentially requiring future investment.
Ongoing Association Fees: The property is subject to a monthly association fee of $270, which adds to the recurring cost of homeownership and may be a deterrent for buyers seeking to minimize monthly expenses.
