Bathrooms also feature granite and tile, showing good condition. Throughout the home, large tile floors, crown molding, and custom plantation shutters contribute to a well-kept and appealing interior.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

    While community pools are available, the property does not include a private swimming pool in its backyard, which may be a desired amenity for some buyers in the La Quinta climate.

  • Potential for Aging Systems

    Built in 2006, the property's major systems (e.g., HVAC, water heater, roof) are approaching two decades in age, which could lead to anticipated maintenance or replacement costs for a new owner in the near future.
