Spectacular Golf Course Home with Breathtaking Sunset Views – Monterey Country Club! Welcome to serene desert living at its finest! Located on one of the most desirable streets in Monterey Country Club, this beautifully updated home offers panoramic western mountain and golf course views—ideal for enjoying spectacular sunsets from your private Spanish-tiled rear patio. Originally a 3-bedroom, this popular Plan 300 has been thoughtfully reconfigured into a spacious and inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout with a flexible den or office space. The open floor plan includes an interior atrium, offering the potential to expand the living area to approximately 1,800 sq.ft. (currently recorded at 1,620 sq.ft. excluding the atrium). Just add a roof and remove two sliding doors to transform it into additional indoor space. The large living room is a showstopper—featuring expansive west-facing windows, a cozy gas fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry, and brand-new quartz countertops with mirrored glass shelving. Natural light floods the home, highlighting the classic Spanish clay-fired tile floors throughout.
The recently remodeled kitchen boasts all-new custom white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a Lazy Susan for convenience, and top-of-the-line brushed stainless steel appliances—including a never-used oven, microwave, and ultra-quiet stainless tub dishwasher. Both bathrooms have been updated with quartz countertops, including a dual-sink vanity in the primary suite and a shower-over-tub setup with glass doors in the guest bath. Fresh interior paint and newly lacquered custom shutters add a clean and modern touch.
Step outside to enjoy the nearby community pool and spa—just steps from your door in a quiet, private corner of the community. The oversized two-car garage offers ample space for vehicles and your golf cart.
Monterey Country Club offers resort-style amenities including:
27 holes of championship golf
37 community pools and spas
15 tennis courts, plus pickleball and bocce ball
A full-service clubhouse with dining and a fitness center.
Ideally located near El Paseo, Eisenhower Medical Center, Acrisure Arena, McCallum Theatre, & Civic Center Park (with a dog park)—you’re minutes from Palm Springs and Indio.
This is desert living at its best—quiet, luxurious, and full of potential. Come see the unmatched mountain and sunset views that make Serena Drive one of the most sought-after addresses in Monterey Country Club!
