Set in the heart of Palm Springs' Movie Colony East, this updated desert home delivers the lifestyle buyers want with the value they've been waiting for. Positioned on an expansive 10,000+ sq. ft. lot, the property offers rare space, privacy, and meaningful potential for future expansion - an increasingly scarce combination in this coveted neighborhood.

Porcelain tile floors run throughout the main spaces, complemented by travertine finishes in the baths. The kitchen is both functional and refined, featuring quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and Bosch and GE Profile appliances; ideal for everyday use and entertaining alike. The primary suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet and a thoughtfully separated flex space that functions effortlessly as a home office - perfect for remote work or creative use without sacrificing living areas. This adaptable space also lends itself to a fitness zone or quiet lounge. Behind the scenes, smart upgrades include a newer HVAC system (2021), 200-amp electrical panel (2017), 22 owned solar panels (2018), and dual-pane windows and doors; delivering efficiency and peace of mind. Outdoors, the backyard captures the essence of Palm Springs living with a large pool and raised spa, kitchen, lush lawn, and fire pit - all framed by striking San Jacinto Mountain views. Included plans for an approximately 800 sq. ft. expansion further elevate the opportunity, adding a family room, bar, dining area, laundry, 3/4 bath, and an attached studio casita - enhancing both livability and long-term value. Move-in ready with scale, flexibility, and upside, this is a property that truly aligns location, lifestyle, and investment potential.
