More Insights

Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1972, the property is well-maintained but shows signs of age and partial updates. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and a contemporary backsplash, but the light wood cabinets and the fluorescent panel ceiling lighting are significantly dated. While other areas like the bedrooms have updated ceiling fans and clean carpets, the overall impression is of a home that has seen regular upkeep and some cosmetic refreshes, but not a comprehensive renovation within the last 15 years. The bathrooms are not pictured, but the description of 'ample built-in storage' could suggest an older style. Minor updates are needed, particularly in the kitchen, to align with current quality standards.

About this home

Located at the West end of the prestigious Seven Lakes Golf and Country Club, this remarkable 2-bed/2-bath residence's expansive 1,778 square feet of living space is just waiting to welcome you home! Located privately on the second floor of this late-century modern part of the complex, a window wall of sliders lead out to a beautiful terrace overlooking a tranquil greenbelt and sparkling pool. Highlighted by nearly 10 ft ceilings, the huge living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, creating a perfect entertaining space. This thoughtfully designed floor-plan ensures optimal functionality, with both large bedrooms tucked privately in back, including the oversized primary suite with custom closets and a huge bathroom with ample built in storage. Mountain views, a large bonus sunroom at the rear of this spacious home and a private two-car garage (with even more storage!) completes this perfect picture. Past the 24-hour guarded front gate, 'The Gem of the Desert' offers a unique elevated lifestyle with its Ted Robinson-designed 18-hole executive golf course, 15 pools and spas with pool-houses, tennis courts and the lively William Cody-designed clubhouse with a formal dining room, casual cocktail lounge and a terrace overlooking the waterfall-fountain.
