Description
This one-story, west-facing end-unit condominium is located within Monterey Country Club and offers approximately 1,584 square feet of open, thoughtfully designed living space. The single-level layout, combined with an easy-flow floor plan, supports a comfortable and accessible living experience well suited to a low-maintenance desert lifestyle.
Ceramic tile flooring extends throughout the main living areas, while the two bedrooms and office (which can also be used as a third bedroom) feature wood laminate flooring. Large windows fill the home with natural light and frame golf course and mountain views. An interior atrium adds architectural interest and additional light, offering flexibility as a seating area, display space, or future garden retreat.
The light and bright kitchen features granite countertops and generous windows overlooking the golf course. The open design flows naturally into the living area, where a fireplace creates a warm focal point and enhances everyday comfort.
The primary bedroom is generously sized, offering a private and relaxing retreat. The primary bathroom has been updated with a newly replaced shower glass door. Recent improvements throughout the home include new shutters and mini-blinds in the kitchen and bedrooms, custom lighting, a new hot water heater, a new laundry room ceiling fan, updated door locks, and a new garage door motor. The attached two-car garage adds convenience and storage. An update on the condo was completed in 2019 by the previous owner
The home is offered turnkey furnished, excluding personal property, stereo set, primary bedroom furniture and rug, living room and entry area rugs. A golf cart is available for purchase outside of escrow.
Monterey Country Club is a centrally located, well-established Palm Desert community offering a 27-hole golf course, clubhouse amenities, tennis and pickleball courts, and multiple swimming pools. The mature landscaping, maintained grounds, and inclusive amenities support a relaxed, lock-and-leave lifestyle with easy access to shopping, dining, and everyday services.
