Sandpiper Palmer & Krisel Designed Condominium with Private Courtyard For Sale – Palm Desert, CA

The Sandpiper condominium development in Palm Desert incorporated several different Palmer & Krisel designs, offering maximum flexibility and choices for homebuyers who wanted a more carefree style of living. This 1965-built unit wraps around its own private courtyard, while also providing views and patio space along the common greenbelt. Measuring 1,897 square feet, this unit fits three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a detached one-car carport with an asking price of $429,900 plus monthly HOA fees of $495.

A pair of original double doors lead visitors into the living area which is well lit by southwest facing clerestories sitting above a decorative concrete block accent wall. Floor to ceiling windows and sliders anchor the southeast wall of the room, proving access to the common pool and greenbelt. The kitchen sits at the center of the home and lacks immediate natural light. The cabinets are original, and while the kitchen is on the small side, there does appear to be adequate storage.
