Short-Term Rental Approved! This 3-bedroom, 2-bath mid-century home offers a rare combination of flexibility, upgrades, and investment potential. Situated on an oversized 15,000+ sq ft lot, the property stands out with two separate 2-car garages, ideal for a future ADU conversion, workshop, or secure storage for RVs, boats, or off-road toys. The attached garage is included in the home's total 1,732 sq ft of living space and is currently being used as a garage. With its size and layout, it offers flexibility for future use, whether kept as-is or reimagined as additional living space such as a home office, gym, or bonus room. Inside, the home features modern updates throughout, including new flooring, an upgraded kitchen and bathrooms, recessed lighting, smooth-textured walls, and an updated HVAC system, offering both style and comfort. Step outside to your private pool and spa, perfectly positioned to capture the desert sun and surrounding hilltop views.
