Description

Some homes check every box. This one adds boxes you didn't know to ask for.Nestled within the sought-after gated community of Whitehawk in the heart of Palm Desert, this thoughtfully upgraded 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home with a dedicated private office and a detached casita delivers a lifestyle that feels more like a private resort than a neighborhood address.The sellers have invested methodically -- not cosmetically. Three new A/C and heat units with HEAPA filtration, new attic insulation, Wi-Fi controlled thermostats, a whole-home hot water on demand circulator, wired smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, and new LED can lighting throughout. The tile roof received a complete maintenance service in March 2026. Owned solar keeps monthly energy costs remarkably low.Inside, the large living and dining rooms flow into a family room and den anchored by a gas fireplace. The kitchen features Corian counters, a bar, island, eat-in area, and gas-electric appliances -- a space designed for both daily life and entertaining. The remodeled primary bath impresses with quartz counters, square sinks, and a new tall toilet. Wood shutters and privacy shades finish every window with intention.Step outside and the backyard earns its own conversation. A saltwater pool and spa with waterfall, a covered courtyard, covered patios, and a southwestern-inspired landscape that is low water and low maintenance with an automatic sprinkler system. The pool equipment was deliberately relocated away from the water -- so all you hear while floating is silence and desert air. It's a detail only someone who truly lives here would think to do.The casita adds a private bedroom, bath, and walk-in closet -- ideal for guests or multigenerational living. Whitehawk's low HOA includes cable and internet, with gated entry, wide lit streets, and a central Palm Desert location minutes from El Paseo, top dining, golf, and the I-10.This home wasn't just maintained. It was loved. The sellers would take it with them if they could -- since they can't, it's yours to enjoy now.
