Overview

This beautifully updated 1,514-square-foot home, boasting a coveted east-west orientation in the Santa Rosa neighborhood of Ram's Hill, offers breathtaking views for days and an abundance of upgrades. Among the two-bedroom, two-bathroom home's impressive features are stunning architectural details and handmade wood accents that are seamlessly integrated with modern conveniences. The thoughtfully designed kitchen features custom cabinetry, newer appliances, a cozy breakfast nook, and convenient pass-through seating to the dining room. Both the kitchen and bathrooms have been refreshed with new tile countertops, laminate flooring, and newer carpet. Additionally, both bathrooms benefit from modern plumbing upgrades, including new low-flush toilets, updated water valves, supply hoses, and replaced faucets. Since February 2021, the property has received roughly $25,000 in thoughtful, high-value enhancements. The home is incredibly energy-efficient, powered by 10 newly installed solar panels and climate-controlled by a three-ton energy-efficient heat pump AC unit paired with a Nest Thermostat. Duralite window film on the sliders significantly reduces UV and heat transfer while protecting the interior. Throughout the home, you will find upgraded electrical outlets, switches, and LED lighting, complemented by newly installed recessed lighting in the bedroom and custom window coverings. Storage and peace of mind have also been prioritized, with new cabinets added to the primary closet and garage, widened closet shelving, a more secure entryway closet door, and a security screen door with new locks. Outdoor living is equally impressive on the newly leveled front patio, which is outfitted with an all-weather overhead fan and custom shade sails for comfortable relaxation. The home is designed to harmonize with the local environment, featuring a dark-sky compliant front door motion light that respects Borrego Springs' stargazing requirements by turning off automatically after 20 seconds. Rounding out the exterior improvements are a durable fiberglass garage side door, ceramic-seal outside faucets, and a completely overhauled landscape drip system with a new solenoid and controller, ensuring effortless desert living.
