Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1961, this property explicitly 'needs TLC' and 'extensive renovation required' according to the listing description. While major systems like plumbing (2024), water heater (2022), and HVAC (2022) have been updated, the interior, including the kitchen and bathrooms, is implied to be original or very dated, requiring substantial rehabilitation. The images confirm dated finishes like tiled floors and textured ceilings. The property is marketed as a renovation opportunity, indicating it is not move-in ready and requires significant investment beyond minor updates to meet modern living standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 8712, living area = 1411.
Updated Major Systems: Key infrastructure such as plumbing (PEX 2024), water heater (May 2022 with 12-year warranty), and HVAC (July 2022) have been recently replaced, significantly reducing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner.
Prime Location & Privacy: Situated at the end of a quiet, private cul-de-sac, the property offers enhanced privacy and a desirable location near Palm Desert's shopping, dining, golf courses, and resort amenities.
Renovation & Value-Add Potential: Described as a 'Palm Desert opportunity ready for your vision' and 'perfect for buyers looking to remodel, flip, or create their own desert retreat,' it offers significant potential for customization and value appreciation.
Functional Unpermitted ADU: Includes an additional 462 sq. ft. unpermitted ADU, providing extra usable space that can serve various purposes, from guest quarters to a home office, adding functional value.
Mountain Views: The property boasts desirable mountain views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and overall living experience.

Cons

Extensive Renovation Required: The property 'needs TLC' and requires significant cosmetic and potentially structural updates beyond the recently replaced major systems, demanding a substantial investment of time and money from the buyer.
Sold As-Is Condition: Being sold 'as-is' means the seller will not make any repairs or offer warranties, placing all responsibility for current and future property conditions and necessary improvements squarely on the buyer.
Unpermitted ADU Status: The 462 sq. ft. ADU is unpermitted, which could lead to legal complications, difficulties with financing, insurance, or future resale, and may require costly efforts to bring it up to code or permit it.
