Looking for a super cute mid-century ranch property with updated systems? This is IT. 74069 Velardo is a 3BR + den (could become 4th bedroom easily), 2BA ranch built in 1961, complete with groovy features like 3D concrete block on the front and a bow-tie shaped pool. Seller loves this house for many reasons (wonderful central PD location and great neighbors), but the layout with separation of en-suite primary and two other bedrooms at opposite ends of house is ideal and not common in this price point. Seller has invested in many upgrades within 3 years: replaced central HVAC system and added mini-split to primary suite (both with their own NEST thermostats), installed solar (assumable NM2 lease at $248/mo with battery), new main electric panel and sub-panel, replaced hot water heater, updated kitchen with new stainless appliances and Carrara marble counters, plus overhauled the backyard and added a 220V outlet to the carport for EV charging. The list goes on! The house is 1456sf on public record, but previous sellers added over 100sf which is currently a laundry room and bonus space with lovely views, complete with another mini-split to make the house even more efficient. This neighborhood is super convenient within Palm Desert, 5-10 minute drive to anything you will be doing: El Paseo, PD Civic Center Park, McCallum, TJ's/Bristol Farms/Whole Foods, Lincoln Middle School or Washington Charter. This particular block is full of friendly neighbors who look out for each other, show pride of ownership, and respect privacy and quiet. You'll enjoy mountain views from the south-west facing yard and several windows throughout the house. This is really a wonderful property! Seller is a licensed CA real estate agent.
