About This Home
As of May 2016Spectacular views abound from the moment you enter the door of this lovely 3 bedroom condo. On an elevated lot, this condo boasts multiple fairway, lake, mountains, and valley views. Truly, these views are spectacular! The back patio is east facing - enjoy a morning cup of your favorite beverage as you bask in the morning sun, watching the golfers complete their putts on the 15th green or tee off on the 16th hole. As a bonus, the northern little San Bernardino mountains reflect varying hues as the sun sets in the evening. Once inside, this desirable floor plan boasts two master bedroom suites, each with walk-in closets, along with a third bedroom currently set up as a den. The living area is open with a pass through from the kitchen to the living room/dining area. The large kitchen has been completely remodeled with new cabinets, granite countertops and appliances. Remodeled guest baths! Tennis & fitness included. Shopping and restaurants are within walking distance
