Nestled in a quiet mountain cove at the exclusive guard-gated community of Indian Wells Country Club, this custom contemporary home offers a private oasis for entertaining, relaxation and exquisite desert living. Upfront mountain vistas are enjoyed indoors and out at the sprawling single-level residence, where a premium corner lot on an intimate cul-de-sac features a gated entry patio. Dual glass doors open to a gallery-style foyer and an atrium that reveals a graceful palo verde tree. Vaulted ceilings lend architectural drama to living areas that include a fireplace-warmed great room with access to both the atrium and the backyard. Dinner parties will be a delight in the dining room, which opens to the backyard and flows to a gorgeous remodeled kitchen with magnificent mountain views and custom grain-matched cabinetry with glass uppers. Chef-worthy amenities include custom quartz countertops with full backsplash, two peninsulas, an under-cabinet wine refrigerator, and new stainless-steel LG appliances. Three- and one-half baths display custom stone finishes and high-end fixtures, and tile floors and designer carpet and add sophisticated flair throughout the open floorplan. Approximately 2,711 square feet, the home presents three ensuite bedrooms-each with their own patio. The luxurious primary suite features a walk-in closet with custom built-ins, patio access off the bedroom and bath, two sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower. Desirable appointments continue with a two-car garage with dedicated golf car space, newer air-conditioning and water-heating systems, water filtration and a newer roof. Stunning mountain panoramas create an idyllic backdrop for memorable outdoor entertaining in a private backyard with large pebble-finished pool, a built-in island with new BBQ, stone tile decking and new irrigation. Founded in 1956 by Desi Arnaz, the prestigious Indian Wells Country Club is known as the ''fun club of the desert'' and offers residents access to a private clubhouse, 36 holes of golf and various memberships. HOA dues are refreshingly low. The swank boutiques, galleries and restaurants of Palm Desert's El Paseo shopping district are close by, and virtually endless outdoor recreation, including beautiful trails and community parks, make it easy to enjoy Indian Wells' renowned climate.
