Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property was built in 1974 and underwent its last major reconstruction in the early 1990s, placing the primary renovations over 30 years ago. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready with some updates like stainless steel appliances and plantation shutters, the overall style, cabinetry, and solid surface countertops reflect an older era. It fits the 'fair' criteria as an aged but functional home that has been maintained through regular upkeep but lacks a recent comprehensive renovation.
The property is located outside of a formal development, meaning no monthly HOA dues, which offers significant long-term savings and greater freedom for the homeowner.
The fully walled and gated corner lot provides exceptional privacy and features multiple functional outdoor spaces, including a front patio with a retractable awning and a covered rear patio for alfresco dining.
The interior features vaulted ceilings and an open kitchen equipped with stainless steel double ovens and a peninsula bar, creating a spacious and modern feel for a home of this era.
Although reconstructed in the early 1990s, the home's core systems and finishes are over 30 years old and may soon require capital improvements or aesthetic updates to remain competitive.
At 5,227 square feet, the lot is relatively compact for a detached residence in La Quinta, which may limit options for significant expansions or the addition of a large private pool.
Set on a corner homesite in a peaceful La Quinta neighborhood, this charming single level residence offers privacy, mountain views, natural light, and easy low maintenance desert living. Fully walled and gated, the property features several outdoor areas designed for relaxing and enjoying the desert climate, including a sunny front patio with retractable shade awning, a covered rear patio perfect for alfresco dining, and a private gated side yard. Inside, the approximately 1,559 square foot floorplan offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms with comfortable living spaces throughout. The living room features vaulted ceilings, a cozy fireplace, and large windows that bring in abundant natural light and mountain views. The open kitchen is well suited for modern living, offering generous cabinetry, solid surface countertops, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, a dining nook with cozy booth seating for everyday dining, and a peninsula bar that works perfectly for casual seating, workspace, homework, or even arts and crafts. The primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with an ensuite bath, while the two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, a home office, or hobbies, with one featuring a built-in desk ideal for a workspace. Plantation shutters, updated bath finishes, and an attached two car garage with direct interior access add to the home's appeal. Thought to have undergone extensive reconstruction in the early 1990s, the home blends comfort and charm with a practical and welcoming layout. With no HOA and a convenient location close to local dining, shopping, and nearby schools, this home offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy relaxed desert living in a quiet, convenient, and established La Quinta neighborhood.
