Absolutely one of the best views in this Trilogy La Quinta 55+ gated community! This is a VERY rare and unique property! It is the ONLY 4 bedroom Monterey plan that includes a newly built custom 4 room detached casita that is legally permitted as an ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) completed in January 2023. The casita rents during the high season for $2,500 to $2,700 per month. Casita rooms include a home theater with both a 120'' motorized movie screen and a 65'' flat panel TV, a full kitchen (except dishwasher), laundry room, bedroom, and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. High-end finishes include an electronic digital shower with temperature read-out, a Whirlpool 5 burner stove with double ovens, refrigerator, porcelain plank flooring and carpeting in the home theater. The home theater includes a Denon 5.1 surround sound system with a Ben-Q projector and the 120'' screen. The casita bedroom includes a 60'' Smart TV, and a queen bed with a ''zero gravity'' adjustable base. Nearly $300,000 total spent in upgrades between the casita and the main home. The main house has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Upgrades include black-out curtains in the master and great room, large electric awning, shutters, roller shades, crown molding in all rooms, newer Milgard windows throughout, and a combination of luxury vinyl plank flooring, wood laminate and porcelain tile in every room. The newly remodeled kitchen has high end ''Champaign'' finished cabinetry including roll outs and soft close drawers and doors, glass backsplash, granite counters, upper cabinet rope lighting, under cabinet lighting, pantry back-lighting, a new gas cooktop, and a Samsung Smart Hub refrigerator with internet and an interior camera so you can see what you need when you go to the market. There are 10 ceiling fans total including 2 in the garage, both bedrooms, kitchen, great room, master bathroom, casita bedroom, casita bathroom and the patio. The great room includes a new 83'' Samsung 4K OLED TV with a Denon surround sound system, and a new fireplace and mantel with under-mantel rope lighting. The courtyard that separates the house from the casita has a soothing water fountain with a new concrete overlay deck. The back yard is spacious enough for a large pool/spa or water feature. Price includes all TV's, projector, motorized screen and 2 surround sound systems. Seller will pay the buyer's Reserve Replenishment Assessment fee of approximately $3,570. Some furnishings and artwork are negotiable.

Despite being built in 2003, this property has undergone extensive, high-end renovations and additions within the last 1-5 years, including a newly built, legally permitted ADU (January 2023) and a newly remodeled main kitchen. The kitchen features high-end 'Champaign' finished cabinetry, granite counters, glass backsplash, new gas cooktop, and a Samsung Smart Hub refrigerator. Bathrooms, especially in the casita, boast modern features like an electronic digital shower. Flooring consists of luxury vinyl plank, wood laminate, and porcelain tile throughout, with newer Milgard windows and modern entertainment systems. These significant updates and the overall pristine condition align with the 'excellent' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5 years with virtually new components and no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Detached ADU with Income Potential: A newly built, legally permitted 4-room detached Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) completed in January 2023, offering significant rental income potential ($2,500-$2,700/month in high season) and high-end finishes including a home theater and full kitchen.
Exceptional Panoramic Views: Boasts 'one of the best views' in the community, encompassing desert, golf course, mountains, and a pond, enhancing the property's appeal and value.
Extensive High-End Upgrades: Nearly $300,000 in total upgrades across both the main home and casita, including newer Milgard windows, luxury flooring, crown molding, and advanced entertainment systems.
Recently Remodeled Gourmet Kitchen: The main home features a newly remodeled kitchen with high-end 'Champaign' finished cabinetry, granite counters, glass backsplash, new gas cooktop, and a Samsung Smart Hub refrigerator.
Gated 55+ Community Lifestyle: Located within Trilogy La Quinta, a prestigious 55+ gated community, offering a resort-style living experience and security.

Cons

Significant Overpricing: The current listing price is 25% higher than the property's estimated value, and at the high end compared to recent sales of similar properties in the area, potentially limiting buyer interest.
High Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $595.00 per month represents a substantial ongoing cost that could be a deterrent for some prospective buyers.
Lack of Existing Pool/Spa: Despite a spacious backyard with potential for a pool/spa, the property currently lacks these amenities, which are often expected in a luxury desert community and present in comparable sales.
