    Sun City Palm Desert - Morocco with Casita. Ideally located in the heart of Sun City on a quiet street just a short distance from the Sunset View Clubhouse, this popular great room home offers comfort, privacy, and versatility. The north-facing rear yard features peekaboo mountain views, an extended patio, and lush desert landscaping with citrus--perfect for relaxing or entertaining. An updated exterior paint scheme and gated front courtyard with patio create inviting curb appeal. Inside, 10-foot ceilings and transom windows fill the home with natural light. Upgraded plank flooring and ceiling fans run throughout, and shutters cover all windows except the great room view windows. The spacious kitchen is appointed with Corian countertops, light maple cabinetry with pull-out shelves, recessed and under-cabinet lighting, and ample storage. Folding doors off the great room open to a flexible den or office. The primary suite features double-door entry, a bay window, an enlarged walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with dual sinks and a stall shower with textured glass enclosure. The guest bath includes a tub/shower combination. French doors from the courtyard lead to the detached casita, providing a private guest bedroom with its own en-suite bath. Additional highlights include a laundry room with utility sink and built-in storage, a two-car garage with extensive built-ins, a golf cart parking nook, and man doors to both the courtyard and side yard. The main A/C was replaced in 2016.
