From the moment you arrive at this Alexander Company-built residence, which is one of the early builds in Twin Palms, you'll be taken by its enchanting appeal. You'll love the practical floor plan, the spacious living and dining area that feature an original stone fireplace and views of the large sparkling pool that beckons you to take a refreshing dip, and the easy access from all three bedrooms to the yard through sliding glass doors. Off the master you can step onto your own private patio where you can listen to the birds and enjoy mountain vistas or walk a few steps to your own jacuzzi as the utmost privacy and peacefulness surround you. There is also a two-car garage, low-maintenance desert landscaping, and proximity to shopping and dining options. The property is on fee land and has been a proven vacation rental. Furnishings are negotiable outside escrow.
