An exceptional South Palm Desert residence, fully reimagined through a complete down-to-the-studs renovation in 2021, offering refined desert living with modern systems, thoughtful design, and owned solar—all in a desirable non-HOA setting. This south-facing home was entirely rebuilt to today's standards, including new interior walls, ceilings, flooring, roof, fireplace, appliances, hot water heaters, and a new garage door and opener, resulting in a property that lives with the ease and confidence of newer construction. Expansive living spaces are filled with natural light and defined by soaring ceilings and exposed beams, creating a sense of volume and architectural interest. The custom kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring a large granite island with seating, a commercial-style gas range, and seamless flow to the surrounding entertaining areas. A built-in wet bar with beverage and wine coolers enhances both daily living and hosting. Outdoors, the private backyard offers a resort-style experience with a striking glass-tile pool and spa, expansive imported travertine decking, and a gazebo perfectly positioned to enjoy mountain vistas and dramatic desert sunsets. The primary suite is a true retreat with direct access to the backyard and a spa-inspired ensuite bath complete with a standalone soaking tub and walk-in closet. Two additional guest suites each feature their own ensuite baths, providing comfort and privacy for guests or extended stays. Porcelain tile flooring runs throughout the home for a clean, cohesive aesthetic and easy maintenance. Owned solar, installed in late 2021, delivers outstanding energy efficiency and meaningful long-term savings. Surrounded by low-maintenance desert landscaping and ideally located near El Paseo's renowned shopping, dining, golf, and hiking, this home offers a rare blend of luxury, privacy, and modern desert sophistication.
