About This Home

As of December 2018

Now Turn-Key with a last, ultimate PRICE REDUCTION on this fantastic looking & up-dated condo in a prime location of the Monterey CC, one of the most desirable communities in town. Easy to find, across the fairway from the Avenida del Sol Gate, this home has been up-dated in a spectacular fashion. The bathrooms, including the master shower is something you would expect to find in high-end luxury properties. This unit has been used as a second home and also doubled up as a vacation rental money making machine, due to its great location and proximity to El Paseo, The McCallum Theatre, the Westfield shopping mall, etc. It does not get better than that when it comes to a resort-like life-style choice. The community pool is a stone throw away on the other side of the fairway. Worried about golf balls hitting your back yard ? Don't be because the T-Box is close by and you are way out of the line of fire. Most important, you are getting all of that for way less than $300K
