This 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath stand-alone home behind the gates of the Desert Princess Resort has everything you want and everything you need for a long weekend in the desert or to spend the season here. A large open social area featuring desert contemporary design combines a living room, dining for 8 and a fully equipped kitchen with a huge island and stainless steel appliances.
The living room opens thru a wall of glass to an incredible backyard. Just outside is a covered terrace with a dining table for 8 and gas grill. Beyond that are beautiful views of the green belt and mountains. You have your own private (12ft x 25ft saltwater) pool with a waterfall from the raised spa. For relaxing in the sun there are loungers and umbrellas. For those cool desert nights, there’s a seating area around a gas fire pit. Everything you need for the desert’s outdoor lifestyle is here!
The large living room has a gas fireplace and 65" smart TV mounted above it. There’s plenty of comfortable seating with a huge sectional sofa and lounge chairs.
Each of the 3 bedrooms has its own bathroom which makes this home perfect for couples, friends, or family to have their own private space to chill.
The primary suite includes a king bed, smart TV, and sitting area. The ensuite has a large walk-in closet, water closet, tub, separate glass-enclosed shower, and a dual-sink vanity.
Each of the guest bedrooms with its tasteful desert modern design has a king bed, ceiling fan, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite with a glass-enclosed step-in shower. Each bath has a clerestory window which helps to brighten the space. The first guest bedroom has a smart TV; the second has a desk for those times you need to work from home.
Calm Palm Retreat at the Desert Princess is designed to host your perfect vacation!
