Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1979, this property has received cosmetic updates including upgraded flooring and refreshed bathrooms, making it move-in ready. However, the kitchen features older-style wood cabinets, white appliances, and track lighting, which are functional but not modern. The stone fireplace is also dated. While some areas like the bonus room show more recent updates (LVP flooring, recessed lighting), the overall aesthetic and the age of core systems (as noted in the property analysis) suggest it's an aged home maintained with occasional updates, rather than extensively renovated to current standards. It's clean and functional but shows signs of being outdated in key areas.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Updated Interior Features: The home boasts recent upgrades including new flooring and refreshed bathrooms, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and move-in readiness.
Versatile Bonus Spaces: Includes a spacious bonus room and a detached office/playroom, providing exceptional flexibility for various uses such as additional living areas, entertainment, work, or hobbies.
Desirable La Quinta Cove Location: Situated 'high in the cove,' offering proximity to top-rated schools, the charming Old Town La Quinta, and direct access to scenic hiking trails in the Santa Rosa Mountains.
Proximity to Cultural Hubs: Located near the world-famous Coachella Festival grounds, offering potential for entertainment or rental income opportunities.
Blended Lifestyle Appeal: The property successfully combines modern conveniences with the quintessential desert living experience, appealing to a broad range of buyers.
Cons
Unpermitted Bonus Room: The bonus room is not reflected on the tax roll, which could lead to issues with official square footage, property valuation, permitting, or future resale.
Age of Core Systems: Built in 1979, while cosmetic updates are noted, the age of the underlying plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems (if not fully replaced) may present future maintenance or replacement costs.
Potential for Outdated HVAC: Given the 1979 build year and the desert climate, the absence of explicit mention of an updated cooling system could indicate an older, less efficient, or potentially inadequate HVAC system.
