Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1973, is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age in its key areas. The kitchen features dated ceramic tile countertops and a hand-painted Spanish tile backsplash, along with older white cabinets and a basic range hood, indicating it has not been extensively renovated in recent decades. While some appliances like the dishwasher and wine fridge appear newer, the overall kitchen aesthetic is outdated. Similarly, the bathrooms feature older vanities, fixtures, and tile work, suggesting they are functional but not modernized. The tile flooring throughout the unit is durable but also contributes to an older aesthetic. The property fits the 'fair' category as it is aged but maintained through regular upkeep, with major components being functional but clearly outdated, requiring minor to moderate updates to meet contemporary standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exclusive Island Community: Located within the unique Desert Island hi-rise community, nestled on a 25-acre island surrounded by a sparkling lake and an 18-hole championship golf course, offering a distinct and luxurious lifestyle.
Comprehensive HOA Inclusions: The HOA dues cover a wide array of services including cable TV (HBO/Showtime), Internet Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, water, gas, and trash, providing significant value and convenience.
Spacious Corner Unit with Natural Light: As a spacious corner unit, the property benefits from enhanced privacy and abundant natural light through 9-foot floor-to-ceiling windows in every room, creating a bright and open atmosphere.
Large Private Terrace & Outdoor Living: Features a large, private terrace accessible from both spacious bedrooms, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying views of beautifully lit trees at night.
Desirable Rancho Mirage Location: Centrally located in Rancho Mirage, offering convenient access to 'The River' for shopping, movies, and restaurants, coupled with mountain views.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =2614, other record lot size in square feet = 1955.
Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $1,638 is exceptionally high, which could be a significant financial burden for potential buyers, even with the extensive inclusions.
Dated Interior Finishes (Kitchen): The kitchen features hand-painted Spanish tile backsplash and ceramic tile counters, which, while charming to some, may be considered dated by many prospective buyers and could necessitate renovation.
Age of Property: Built in 1973, the property is over 50 years old. While well-maintained, its age may suggest that other areas beyond the kitchen could benefit from modernization or may incur higher maintenance costs in the long term.
