Welcome to this beautifully remodeled expanded St. Croix, one of the most popular floor plans in Sun City Palm Desert. Ideally positioned in the community's desirable newer section, this home enjoys a larger, pool-sized lot with convenient access to the North Gate, golf course, Dog Park, Lakeview Clubhouse and pool, practice and chipping areas, and the 18-hole putting course. The thoughtfully expanded floor plan offers 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a dedicated golf cart garage, and a versatile Hobby/Bonus Room with a separate entrance from the garage, creating a casita-like space ideal for hobbies, a private office, fitness room, studio, or additional flexible living space.

The open Great Room is enhanced by an electric fireplace/heater, creating an inviting focal point for everyday living and entertaining. Additional improvements include updated cabinetry throughout, energy-efficient upgraded windows and sliders, LVP flooring throughout with tile flooring in both bathrooms, and a newly painted interior. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet, dual vanity, and step-in shower. Major system upgrades add even more value, including an upgraded HVAC system with NEW A/C coils in 2026, an upgraded 50-gallon water heater, and a hardwired alarm system with three control panels. Step outside to a private, low-maintenance backyard with a generous covered patio, ceiling fans, and existing wiring for a future spa or hot tub.
