A WONDERFUL FIND IN CENTRAL PALM DESERT! Five bedrooms, nearly 2,800 square feet, a private gated courtyard with spool and waterfall, separate guest casita, and no HOA fees! Set within La Placitas, a collection of just 20 homes, a dramatic rotunda entry leads to a spacious great room with fireplace and wet bar, complemented by a dining area and kitchen. Both the living and dining areas open to the covered rear patio, creating an easy connection to outdoor living. The kitchen features a large island with counter seating and prep sink, a generous pantry, and a beverage cooler. The five-bedroom layout offers excellent separation, with four bedrooms in the main residence plus a separate one-bedroom casita. The primary suite enjoys its own wing and opens directly to the rear patio, while the primary bath features a separate soaking tub and shower, plus a walk-in closet. Guest bedrooms are positioned separately, including one currently enjoyed as a music room with direct access to the courtyard spool, and another as an office. The casita features its own bath, providing additional privacy and flexibility for visiting family and friends. The gated courtyard features a PebbleTec-finished spool with waterfall, while the rear patio enjoys morning sunshine and offers another inviting outdoor living space. A convenient powder bath adds to the thoughtful floor plan. The finished three-car garage offers direct access to the home, with two side-by-side parking spaces plus a tandem third space, epoxy flooring, and built-in storage cabinets. Easy-care landscaping and a manageable lot keep maintenance simple. Fee land (you own it), no HOA fees, and a central Palm Desert location convenient to El Paseo's shopping and dining, plus a variety of popular golf courses.
