Description
This is the home for a buyer who wants move-in ready condition, room to breathe outdoors, and a view that competing listings at this price point simply cannot match. It works equally well as a primary residence, a second home near Palm Springs,...Location. Views. This is the one. Just south of Mission Lakes Blvd, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath single-story sits on a 9,148-square-foot lot elevated in the hills of Desert Hot Springs — mountain views from every main living space and the primary suite.
This is the home for a buyer who wants move-in ready condition, room to breathe outdoors, and a view that competing listings at this price point simply cannot match. It works equally well as a primary residence, a second home near Palm Springs, or an investment property in one of the Coachella Valley's most accessible markets. New engineered wood flooring throughout the main living areas, new carpet in all three bedrooms, and fresh interior paint mean there is nothing to do but move in — a meaningful advantage whether you are occupying, renting, or holding.
The living room has vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, and large windows that frame the mountain range. Just off the kitchen, a generous second room functions as a formal dining room or second living area — a layout that gives the home more everyday flexibility than the square footage suggests. The kitchen connects directly to both living spaces, with oak cabinetry, a gas range, dishwasher, and a sliding glass door that opens to the covered patio — the mountain backdrop visible from every angle of the main living zone.
The primary suite includes a ceiling fan, mirrored sliding closets, mountain views, and a private en-suite bathroom with both a tub and separate shower. The two secondary bedrooms — each with new carpet, ceiling fans, and mirrored closets — share a full hall bath with tub/shower combination.
Outside, the backyard is wide, flat, and fully fenced, with desert landscaping and an unobstructed mountain range as a natural backdrop. A covered pergola off the kitchen provides immediate shade for year-round outdoor use. The attached 2-car garage, central AC and heating, and tile roof round out the practical foundation of the property.
Located approximately 10 minutes from downtown Palm Springs with easy access to the I-10 corridor, retail, and dining. A move-in ready home with this combination of views, lot size, and updated condition is difficult to find at this price point in the Coachella Valley.
