Wow! Freshly updated and ready to impress. Beautifully connected living spaces and a remarkably private backyard set the stage for this Palm Desert residence. Located at The Grove, a desirable non-gated neighborhood with no HOA fees, the home offers an inviting mix of architectural elegance and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Tall coved ceilings create a wonderful sense of volume throughout. At the heart of the home, a chef-designed kitchen features a large center island, granite countertops, rich maple cabinetry, premium KitchenAid appliances, counter seating, and an adjacent breakfast area. The kitchen connects beautifully with formal and casual living areas, including the dining room, while opening to a private backyard designed for entertaining. Multiple conversation areas surround the sparkling pool and spa with waterfall, complemented by a built-in barbecue with granite countertops, a pergola, and an outdoor shower. Electric retractable solar screens provide additional shade and energy efficiency. The spacious primary retreat enjoys direct pool access, two closets, and a beautifully appointed bath with separate vanities, marble and travertine finishes, and views of a shaded cactus garden. An adjacent yet separate office adds flexibility. On the opposite side of the home, two generously sized guest bedrooms each feature an ensuite bath and walk-in closet, with one of the guest baths offering direct access to the pool area. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint throughout, new carpeting, updated lighting and ceiling fans, new electrical outlets and switches, hardware, faucets, and mirrors, plus refreshed landscaping and irrigation upgrades. Additional highlights include a separate powder room, interior laundry room with sink, and an attached two-car garage with custom cabinetry. All of this just minutes from Palm Desert's dining, shopping, entertainment, and golf.
