Rare-to-market opportunity in South Palm Springs! Tucked against the mountain and a short hop to the heart of town. Enjoy tall ceilings, architectural interest, effortless indoor-outdoor flow, and a fabulous pool + spa with waterfall. The sleek, modernist fire pit works its MAGIC poolside as well! Gated Dakota is a collection of 38 standalone homes off Belardo Road. The walkability of the area scores high marks and this includes neighboring Historic Tennis Club, Tahquitz River Estates, and Twin Palms. In terms of design, this larger floor plan delivers on many fronts including a wonderful mix of conversation areas. Clerestory windows and La Cantina bi-fold doors are highlights in the main living + dining areas with beautiful wood flooring underfoot. Viking appliances, Hans Grohe fixtures, and a Blanco sink elevate the kitchen with its modern finishes and counter seating. There is a second level den positioned between two ensuite bedrooms where natural light is a theme. Loving the newer floor-to-ceiling bookcases that frame the room beautifully. The ensuite Primary faces West and delivers a WOW factor in terms of dramatic mountain views. New Zealand wool carpet plus porcelonosa tile is found in both bedrooms. Laundry located in the 2-car garage. There is a powder bath too. Low HOA fees make things all the better. Location meets fabulous design! Enjoy it all.
