Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained and move-in ready, but it remains largely in its original 2001 state. While the interior is clean with desirable features like plantation shutters and tile flooring, the kitchen and bathrooms feature dated maple cabinetry, Corian countertops, and older white appliances. Per the criteria, a home built 25 years ago with no major modern renovations falls into the 'fair' category, despite its excellent upkeep.
Situated in the prestigious Sun City Palm Desert, the property offers access to an unparalleled lifestyle including two golf courses, five pools, 20 sports courts, and over 80 social clubs within a secure 24-hour guard-gated community.
The private rear patio is uniquely positioned with mature landscaping and no direct neighboring views, providing a rare sense of tranquility and desert solitude within a high-density active adult development.
This popular model features a functional 2-bedroom plus den/office layout with a split-bedroom design, offering flexibility for remote work or guest accommodations while maintaining primary suite privacy.
The home retains original 2001 features such as maple cabinetry and Corian countertops, which may feel aesthetically dated to buyers seeking contemporary quartz or modern custom finishes.
Given the 2001 construction date, major mechanical components and the roof may be approaching the end of their typical service life, potentially requiring near-term capital investment for replacements.
Welcome to Sun City Palm Desert where resort-style living is simply part of everyday life. Behind the 24-hour guard-gated entrance, you'll discover an extraordinary array of amenities designed for both recreation and relaxation. Enjoy 20 pickleball and tennis courts, two beautifully maintained 18-hole golf courses with a driving range, five heated swimming pools, and three stunning clubhouses that serve as vibrant social hubs. Residents also enjoy billiards, a grand ballroom, two on-site restaurants, a martini and coffee bar, a theater, technology center, library, arts & crafts, two dog parks, and RV parking. With more than 80 clubs and interest groups, there's truly something for everyone whether your passion is fitness, creativity, learning, or simply connecting with neighbors. Ideally located near the Mountain View Clubhouse, this popular Montego model offers 2 bedrooms plus an office/den (or optional third bedroom) and a spacious two-car attached garage. A transom window above the entry door welcomes natural light, setting the tone for the home's bright, open great-room design. Tile flooring flows throughout the main living areas, while plush carpeting adds comfort in the bedrooms. White plantation shutters provide timeless style and privacy. The kitchen features warm maple cabinetry, Corian countertops, and a cheerful breakfast nook perfect for casual dining. The generous primary suite offers direct access to the backyard, a large walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower. Thoughtful separation between the primary and guest bedroom ensures privacy for both owners and visitors. Step outside to your private rear patio, surrounded by mature landscaping that creates a serene setting with no direct neighboring views. Whether enjoying morning coffee or relaxing under the covered patio in the evening, this outdoor space offers peaceful desert living at its finest. Experience a beautifully maintained home within a vibrant, amenity-rich community where every day truly feels like a vacation.
