72996 Bursera Way, Palm Desert, CA 92260
This thoughtfully updated 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom South Palm Desert mid-century home, built in 1961 with no HOA fees, perfectly blends classic mid-century character with meaningful modern upgrades. Designed by noted mid-century architect John Moyer, known for the Spider House in Pinyon Crest and his collaborations with builder Jack Meiselman in Palm Springs and Palm Desert, the home carries a piece of the region's architectural history. Recent improvements provide peace of mind, including a new roof installed in December 2023, a new HVAC system installed in February 2024, and a water heater replaced around early 2022. The backyard was enhanced in 2025 with a new putting green, while the saltwater pool was retiled and resurfaced with PebbleTec, creating a refreshed outdoor space ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Additional features include a Culligan water filtration and softening system, induction oven and cooktop, and a primary bathroom with a whirlpool soaking tub and jets. A full cabana bathroom with direct pool access adds convenience for outdoor living, and French drains installed in the front yard provide optimal drainage. An added opportunity for qualified buyers: the existing VA loan may be assumable at approximately 2.5% interest.
