POOL Home - Spacious Open Concept with Vaulted Ceilings! This beautifully maintained detached residence is set on a north-facing lot with picturesque mountain views enjoyed from the poolside, kitchen, and family room. Located behind the gates of the highly desirable Merano community in central Palm Desert, this home offers both convenience and comfort in one of the desert's most PRIME locations. The lease is offered for a minimum of one year and includes gardening, pool service, and all utilities, providing exceptional value and saving tenants thousands annually. Inside, the home showcases an open-concept floor plan with soaring ceilings, a dramatic double-sided fireplace, kitchen island, custom blinds, and expansive windows and glass sliders that flood the home with natural light while creating seamless indoor-outdoor living to the pool area. Flooring is upgraded luxury vinyl plank and tile throughout, and interior wall colors may be refreshed to all white at tenant's request for a lighter, more contemporary feel. This versatile floor plan features three bedrooms plus a den, with the den offering custom built-ins and dual access points from both the living room and hallway. The primary suite is a private retreat with corner windows, direct slider access to the covered patio and backyard, a walk-in closet, and a private bath complete with dual sinks and step-in shower.

Merano is an intimate gated enclave of just 126 homes, prized for its central Palm Desert location. Across the street you'll find everyday conveniences like groceries, coffee, and dining, while a short drive connects you to Eisenhower Health Campus, major retailers to the north, and the luxury shopping and dining of El Paseo to the south.
