The Upper Cathedral City Cove has long been a haven for artists, free spirits, and lovers of eclectic design, and this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath modern reinvention fits right in. Priced just below the February 2025 appraisal value, the home sets the stage, blurring the lines between indoors and out, natural and high-concept light, and traditional and modern living. Metallic epoxy floors, walls of windows, and year-round views of the Santa Rosa Mountains create an ambiance that makes the entire home feel like an art installation. Almost every bedroom has its own bath, while the chef's kitchen pairs quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances with an energetic flow into both the indoor and outdoor spaces. The backyard is a private escape featuring a sparkling pool, a privacy wall, and drip-irrigated, desert-centric landscaping. Upgrades include a new roof, a new AC/heat pump, an updated electrical panel, a new plumbing line to the street, new insulation, irrigation, and financed solar panels that the buyer shall assume at closing at a 1.99% interest rate! Even firepit hookups are ready! The Cove offers temperate weather, natural wind protection, and a history as a creative enclave. Minutes from Trader Joe's, Agua Caliente Casino, CVRep Theatre, the Mary Pickford Theatre, brand-new Chipotle and Starbucks, plus hiking, breweries, and boutiques, you're not just buying a home, you're stepping into the lifestyle that makes this neighborhood legendary. Home inspection, termite inspection, and solar inspection are all available for review!
