Updated Single-Level Living in Golden Sun EstatesSet on a corner lot behind the gates of Golden Sun Estates, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,363 square feet of open, single-level living that has been thoughtfully refreshed. New LVP flooring runs through the main living areas and bedrooms, new windows bring in clean natural light, updated appliances, and the HVAC system is newer, so the major systems are handled and the home is ready from day one.The layout flows without interruption from the front entry through the living room, dining area, and kitchen, with tall ceilings and display ledges that keep the rooms feeling airy. The living room sits under a vaulted ceiling and opens to a large slider and picture window, carrying light through the space all day. The adjacent dining area shares that same connection to the outdoors, with a second slider to the covered patio.The kitchen is functional and full of character, with sage cabinetry, granite tile counters, new stainless steel appliances, and a garden window over the sink. A built-in coffee and beverage nook and a breakfast bar with seating round out a layout that works as well for quiet mornings as it does for hosting.The three bedrooms are positioned for privacy, with one offering mountain and palm views through the front window. The primary bath features a dual-sink vanity and a separate walk-in shower, with a second full bath serving the additional rooms.Outside, an alumawood-covered patio extends the living space into a shaded, private retreat with room for lounge seating, dining, and a grill. Mature landscaping wraps the corner lot and adds a layer of seclusion.Golden Sun Estates is a gated community with a low monthly HOA of $180, a central greenbelt, a community pool and spa, a tennis court, and open lawns framed by the Santa Rosa and San Jacinto mountains. The location puts you minutes from shopping, dining, and golf across Palm Desert and the surrounding valley.With the updates already done and the systems in good shape, this one lives well as a lock-and-leave. For second-home owners and those splitting time with the desert, the mix of low upkeep, a secure gated entry, and a modest HOA is the part that is hard to replicate, and it is what keeps homes like this in demand season after seasonProperty is also available for lease.
