Gracious living, smart design, and mountain views! Beautiful 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom home on a Palm Desert cul-de-sac packs quite a punch! Wrap-around patios stretch nearly the entire perimeter of the home. Pergolas add architectural interest and make for lovely sitting and/or dining areas near the picture perfect pool. The privacy factor is another plus as the property feels like a small compound out back. A charming and gated courtyard on the front end of the property feels like a 'room' unto itself. Heading inside, the main living areas take full advantage of a series of oversized windows and plantation shutters. Lots of light throughout! You'll find two options for indoor dining although the formal dining room was recently used as an office. Moving into the kitchen, once again, natural light pours in from a couple different directions and plays especially well with shaker-style cabinetry and granite counters. En suite master bedroom's slider leads out to the pool. Bathrooms have upgraded vanities and flooring throughout the home was chosen for easy-breezy modern living. Gated Merano community in Palm Desert is most definitely geographically desirable. The best of El Paseo and Rancho Mirage, is a short drive away. Recent improvements include Lenox HVAC system, top of the line security system, Air Purifier, expanded irrigation system around entire home.
