Property is new construction or fully renovated.
While originally built in 1990, the property has undergone a comprehensive recent renovation (less than 5 years old) including a completely transformed kitchen with brand-new cabinetry, stone countertops, and appliances. The addition of new flooring throughout, fresh interior and exterior paint, and new carpeting qualifies it as being in mint, move-in ready condition with no immediate maintenance required.
Elementary School: James Monroe Elementary School (9/10).
The property is move-in ready featuring a fully transformed kitchen with new cabinetry and stone countertops, along with new flooring, fresh paint, and updated landscaping.
Located within the IID utility district for lower electricity rates and boasting a remarkably low $160 monthly HOA fee, this home offers superior affordability for a gated community.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
While the interior is aesthetically refreshed, the 1990 construction year may mean original major systems like the roof or HVAC are approaching the end of their typical functional lifespan.
The property is noted as having only 'Peek-A-Boo' views, which may not satisfy buyers specifically looking for the expansive, unobstructed mountain vistas often sought in La Quinta.
