Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1991, the property is well-maintained but remains largely in its original condition with outdated finishes. The kitchen features 1990s-style white tile countertops and older black appliances, while the bathrooms show significant age with glass block partitions, tiled counters, and carpeted vanity areas. While the home offers excellent architectural volume and a functional pool, the interior fixtures, flooring, and cabinetry are dated and require modernization to meet current market standards.
The rare 12-foot ceilings and oversized windows throughout the living areas and primary suite create an expansive, light-filled atmosphere that is highly unique for the La Quinta Cove neighborhood.
The property features a complete desert oasis with a sparkling pool, integrated spa, and a raised tanning deck, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the surrounding mountain views.
The thoughtful layout includes three bedrooms plus a dedicated office/den, providing excellent flexibility for remote work or hosting guests within nearly 2,000 square feet of living space.
At 5,227 square feet, the lot is relatively modest, which may result in limited privacy and minimal yard space beyond the pool and patio areas.
The assigned elementary and middle schools currently hold mid-range ratings (5-6), which may be a consideration for families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
This home has BIG Windows in all the right places! What a rarity to find this ceiling height in La Quinta Cove, and the views don't disappoint! This stunning property invites you in with soaring 12-foot ceilings that create an open, airy vibe, beautifully accented by intricate moulding that adds a touch of timeless elegance. Flooded with natural light, the living room, family room, and the luxurious primary suite all boast oversized windows, offering a seamless connection to the outdoors and making every space feel bright and welcoming. Whether you're hosting lively gatherings or enjoying quiet mornings, these rooms are the perfect backdrop for creating memories. The center of the home allows for three thoughfully placed rooms, two guest bedrooms and an office/den. The Kitchen is marked by beautiful bougainvillea almost pouring through the window over the sink, with an extended counter space for extra dining and gaming opportunities abound. And wait until you see the backyard! Your personal oasis awaits with a sparkling pool, relaxing spa, and a raised tanning deck complete with built-in loungers--ideal for soaking up the sun or stargazing on warm evenings. It's the ultimate retreat for unwinding or entertaining in style. This home has it all: spacious, elegant, and designed for both comfort and fun. You won't find these bones anywhere else in the Cove!
