Beautiful Southwest-style San Rafael model on a spacious corner lot with exceptional desert landscaping and mature cacti. This three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home including a large office and full 3-car garage is one of my favorite models. Its thoughtfully designed layout places the primary suite on one side, the great room and office in the center, and two full-size bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bathroom on the other. The arrangement is ideal for entertaining guests and hosting family.The updated kitchen features an oversized granite-topped island, a new sink and faucet, and a KitchenAid stainless steel appliance suite. Additional features include shutters, crown molding, ceramic tile floors throughout, a new six-foot Kohler bathtub in the primary bathroom, chair-height replacement toilets, and built-in storage in the primary walk-in closet. The garage has insulated doors and a tankless water heater. A newer air conditioner with a recently installed UV filter and coil add to the upgrades. The tranquil backyard extends the front yard's desert landscaping, with mature plants and flowers that attract hummingbirds making it a desert garden oasis. An Aluma wood cover spans the back of the home, creating year-round outdoor seating areas complemented by the gentle sounds of a beautiful Spanish-style fountain. This home is located within easy walking distance from the Montecito Clubhouse.Located in Sun City Shadow Hills, a premier 55+ active adult community in the Coachella Valley, residents enjoy two expansive clubhouses with state-of-the-art fitness centers, indoor and outdoor pools, spas, and a full calendar of classes and events. The community also features two meticulously maintained championship golf courses, including a Par 3 course recently ranked #4 in the nation, along with tennis and pickleball courts and more than 50 social clubs. This home is move-in ready and ready for its next owner. Make an appointment to see it today!
