Some homes stand out because of what's inside. Others because of where they sit. This one offers both. Set along the edge of the gated 55+ Sun City Apple Valley community, this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath home enjoys one of its greatest features before you even step inside: an open High Desert backdrop with beautiful mountain views and no row of homes directly behind the property. The backyard was made for enjoying that setting. A covered patio, attractive landscaping, green lawn and firepit area create an inviting outdoor retreat with a wonderful sense of openness. Start the morning with coffee outside, gather around the firepit as the sun goes down, or simply sit back and take in the expansive desert sky and mountains beyond. Inside, abundant natural light and an open floor plan make the home feel bright and welcoming. The spacious living area flows naturally into the kitchen and dining spaces, creating an easy layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen features granite countertops, generous cabinetry, a pantry and built-in desk, while the bay-window dining area brings in even more light. Wood-look laminate flooring and plantation shutters add warmth and character throughout. The private primary suite offers a comfortable retreat with a walk-in closet and ensuite bath featuring a soaking tub and separate shower. A second bedroom and full guest bath provide flexibility for overnight guests, hobbies or a home office. An indoor laundry room, attached garage and fire sprinkler system add everyday convenience. Another standout feature is the home's solar energy system with SunPower battery backup. The system will be paid off at closing, allowing the new owner to enjoy the benefits of solar without assuming the existing solar loan. The battery also provides backup power during outages-an especially valuable feature for added comfort and peace of mind. All of this is located within Sun City Apple Valley, an established Del Webb 55+ community offering the amenities and lifestyle for which it is known.
