Description
Location, Location, Location! Rancho El Mirador is one of the most sought-after gated communities in Palm Springs, ideally situated next to Desert Regional Medical Center and just moments from downtown shops and eateries.
This upper-level 2 bed, 2 bath corner unit has been beautifully remodeled with thoughtful upgrades throughout. Enjoy brand-new carpeting in the bedrooms, fully updated bathrooms with tiled showers, new vanities, fixtures, lighting, and more. The kitchen shines with all-new SS appliances (stove, microwave, refrigerator, and dishwasher), plus a new faucet and refreshed finishes. Additional upgrades include new electrical outlets and switches, new painting throughout, new sliding screen doors, matte black hardware throughout, new mirrored closet doors, new ceiling fans, brand new 2.5-ton A/C heat pump, and newer in-unit stackable washer/dryer.
Overlooking the sparkling community pool, the unit offers two balconies—front and rear—for relaxing or entertaining. The HOA covers water, trash, sewer, exterior maintenance, and provides one covered parking space plus guest parking. Rancho El Mirador features 61 residences, a community pool/spa, tennis/pickle ball court, and gated entry for peace of mind.
Whether full-time or part-time, this home is a true gem.
