Welcome to this beautifully appointed 2006 Santa Fe–style home in North Desert Hot Springs, offering 2,318 square feet of single-level living with soaring ceilings and an open, sun-filled layout. The heart of the home is a stunning great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone fireplace, framed by a wall of sliders that capture the dramatic mountain backdrop and lead out to the patio. The open-concept kitchen impresses with granite counters, stainless appliances, a center island, and breakfast bar seating that flows effortlessly into the living and dining spaces, built for gathering and entertaining. Four spacious bedrooms include a serene primary suite with its own mountain-view slider and a spa-inspired bath featuring a soaking tub and dual vanity, while the additional bedrooms offer flexible space for family, guests, or a home office. Tile and luxury vinyl plank flooring, central heat and air, ceiling fans throughout, and an attached two-car garage round out the comfort and quality. Offered turnkey with a proven track record as a vacation rental, this is a rare opportunity just minutes from Mission Lakes, the area's celebrated mineral spas, and an easy drive to Palm Springs. Set on a generous 0.20-acre lot with room to add a pool, this is elevated desert living ready for its next owner. Buyer to verify short-term rental permit eligibility with the City of Desert Hot Springs. Furniture available for purchase on a separate bill of sale.
Wardman Heights, located between Palm Drive and Dillon Road, is a residential and hillside Desert Hot Springs neighborhood with wide desert views and mid-century ranch streetscapes. The neighborhood reads as quiet blocks of single-story homes, gravel gardens, and palms set against the San Jacinto Mountains. The area’s character concentrates around Palm Drive at Pierson Boulevard, where small taquerias, date-shake counters, and local storefronts set a casual, sun-warmed rhythm. Community touchstones include Cabot’s Pueblo Museum, the Desert Hot Springs Library, and the Desert Hot Springs Aquatic Center. Hot-springs resorts and day spas shape the local routine, while nearby trailheads and open desert lots keep the horizon in view. Evenings bring clear skies and a slower pace along the foothill edges.
