Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1979, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but retains many dated features consistent with its age. While it boasts a brand-new AC (2025) and updated stainless steel kitchen appliances, the kitchen and bathrooms feature older cabinetry and tile countertops with wide grout lines. The white square tile flooring, mirrored wet bar, and overall interior styling reflect a previous era of design. The listing description explicitly identifies the home as a 'perfect model to upgrade and personalize,' confirming that while functional, it has not undergone a comprehensive modern renovation.
Situated on the 8th hole of the South course, this property offers expansive fairway and mountain views, providing a premium desert landscape from the living areas.
Located in the active Monterey Country Club, residents have access to 37 pools and spas, golf, pickleball, tennis, bocce, and a full fitness center.
The installation of a brand-new AC system in August 2025 provides significant value and peace of mind regarding energy efficiency and climate control in the desert heat.
