Exceptional opportunity to own in Palma Village, right in the heart of Palm Desert! This charming and stylish mid-century home has countless enjoyable and useful features. It boasts a serene private front facing courtyard with shaded trees that keep the home cool, native drought-tolerant plants and an equally relaxing space in the back, with 8 raised irrigated garden beds and a shaded hammock area. Perfectly situated near College of the Desert, you are minutes from beautiful hiking and mountain bike trails, top rated golf courses, and most importantly, walking distance to El Paseo, the renowned shopping, dining and art district, often called the "Rodeo Drive of the Desert". Not only is this home centrally located, it has plenty of space for expansion with a 7400 ft.²+ lot. It is also R2 zoned, which allows for a secondary residential unit with the City of Palm Desert. Generate additional income, take full advantage of the tax benefits and deductions available, while capitalizing on the high demand for short term rentals for Coachella/Stagecoach or the usual snowbirds looking for a beautiful spring desert escape. The 200 square-foot finished garage could be easily converted into a casita with separate access for short- or long-term rentals, as long as the owner resides in the primary residence. Aside from central air, both the home (and the garage) has evaporative coolers to help save on energy costs during the hot summer months
