LOCATION, VIEW, COMMUNITY... Describes this ideally located, bright airy 3 bedroom 2 bathroom mid-century home in Rancho Mirage. Thoughtfully upgraded living space throughout adds timeless appeal with modern comfort and style. Lovely surrounding mountain views, and a secluded quiet neighborhood, as part of a planned community of 19 homes centered around private acre park. All enhance the beauty of this updated 1654 square feet desert style living space. From the moment you enter, the light open interior and elevated design details create a sense of effortless desert sophistication. The living room features a raised ceiling, a striking decorative reflective glass gas fireplace, and an open welcoming atmosphere. The fully remodeled kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with quartz countertops, a counter bar, newer appliances, and an open concept connection to the living spaces. A reconfigured den/bedroom with double doors provides flexibility as a bedroom, home office, media room, or additional gathering space. The private primary suite offers a beautifully modernized bath with a Jacuzzi tub, while the additional bathroom has also been tastefully updated. An interior laundry area and intelligent instantaneous tankless water heater add everyday convenience and efficiency. Outside, the quintessential desert lifestyle takes center stage. A large sparkling pool and spacious patio create an inviting setting for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying spectacular surrounding mountain views. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning outdoors or gathering with friends beneath the desert sky, the setting feels like a secluded resort. What truly sets this property apart is its community. The community is also dog friendly, quiet, private, welcoming, and rich in mid-century character. Thunderbird Park Lot A is an enclave of just 19 residences, thoughtfully centered around a privately maintained one-acre park. The renovated shared park has been upgraded in accordance with CVWD water-conservation standards, while remarkably low association dues of approximately $1,000 annually help maintain this special common area. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the Rancho Mirage lifestyle in a distinctive neighborhood setting--all offered below the million-dollar price range.
