Welcome to Cathedral City Cove! One of the most coveted areas of the city, high above the valley floor with spectacular views. This 2169 sq ft 4 bedroom 3 bath property includes an updated 3 bedroom 2 bath main home and a permitted 432 sq ft separate guesthouse with new flooring, new lighting, fresh paint, a kitchen, and bathroom. Guesthouse could generate additional income and potentially qualify for home share/AirBnb which is EXTREMELY rare in Cathedral City. Main home includes brand new flooring, fresh paint throughout, new LED light fixtures, new ceiling fans, and a modern white oak accent wall. Incredible natural light from the sunrise cascades throughout the home, accentuating the extraordinary 3 sided gas fireplace and stone flooring. A slider from the kitchen as well as French doors from the primary bedroom lead to the completely private resort style backyard with plentiful areas to relax, unwind, swim, and harvest fruit from orange, grapefruit, and lemon trees. Saving the best for last, there is a permitted elevated observation deck with 360 degree panoramic views of the Coachella Valley, perfect for sunrises, sunsets, and stargazing. Minutes to the new, bustling Downtown Cathedral City, Iconic Palm Springs, and a short drive to the world famous Joshua Tree National Park. Welcome home! :O)

Nestled in the wonderfully eclectic Cathedral City Cove - above Terrace Road - is a spacious pool home worthy of being high on any must-see list! Built in 1964 and still displaying much of its mid-century heritage, the property consists of a 3 bedroom/2 bath main house and a separate (fully permitted) casita offers another bedroom, bath and full kitchen and can be used as extra living space, game room or generating additional income! A custom-built deck overlooks the pool, spa and barbecue areas to yield a welcomed escape from where to soak in the astonishing views. An expansive living flows into the adjoining dining room separated by a dual sided fireplace. Two sets of double doors open to front and side patios adding even more indoor/outdoor living space. A remodeled kitchen leads to the pool and spa and completes the stage for great entertaining. And as wonderful as the property already is, there's still plenty of room to put touches of your own to this private paradise. "The Cove" is conveniently located near shopping, entertainment and great dining. Only a short hop away is the airport, casinos, world-famous El Paseo and some of the best hiking around. A great opportunity whether looking for a home of your own or an investor wanting to take it to a whole new level, do yourself a favor and make sure you see this one!
