    Sun City Palm Desert - San Remo. This beautifully upgraded home offers exceptional curb appeal with a refreshed paint scheme, meticulously maintained desert landscaping, and a gated front courtyard that creates both privacy and charm. Leaded glass French doors with a transom window provide a grand first impression. Inside, the greatroom stuns with a soaring vaulted ceiling approaching 14 feet and expansive tile flooring throughout much of the home. Large picture windows in both the living and family rooms flood the space with natural light while framing views of the lush south-facing rear yard. Solar shades throughout add comfort and efficiency. The family room features a custom floating built-in with shelving and a tile-trimmed gas fireplace, creating a stylish yet inviting focal point. The updated kitchen is thoughtfully designed with quartz countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, stainless appliances including double wall ovens, a breakfast bar, raised panel cabinetry with pull-out shelves, and a large pantry with pull-out storage behind frosted French doors--ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The primary suite enjoys a bay window overlooking the patio and a huge walk-in closet with custom built-in organization. Its spa-inspired bathroom showcases an underlit floating vanity with dual sinks, quartz counters, upgraded fixtures, designer lighting and mirrors, plus a spectacular walk-in shower with dual showerheads, custom tile surround, and rimless glass enclosure. On the opposite side of the home, the private guest wing includes two bedrooms and a beautifully updated bathroom featuring a quartz vanity and a tiled stall shower with textured glass doors. A stylish powder room with floating vanity and upgraded finishes serves guests with ease. The laundry room offers built-in storage and a utility sink. The extended 2-car plus golf cart garage is equally impressive with epoxy flooring, built-in storage, overhead racks, its own A/C (new in 2024), and abundant workspace. Major system upgrades provide peace of mind, including two new Bosch air-conditioning units, Rheem furnaces, and a water heater--all installed in 2024. The spacious south-facing rear yard is designed for relaxation and entertaining with an extended patio, alumawood cover, artificial turf, lush landscaping, and a built-in barbecue--your own private desert retreat.
