Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2006, this property falls within the 10-20 year age range for a 'good' rating. The home is move-in ready and features high-end, well-maintained amenities including a resort-style backyard with a chef-grade outdoor kitchen and elaborate pool features. While the interior styling—such as the granite countertops, cabinetry, and stone accents—reflects the mid-2000s build era rather than a recent full renovation, the property shows minimal wear and tear and superior upkeep.
The backyard is a premier entertainer's paradise featuring a PebbleTec pool with a rooftop rain waterfall, a sunken BBQ pit, and a chef-grade outdoor kitchen with seating for eight.
The floor plan offers exceptional flexibility with a spacious attached casita, a dedicated billiard room, and an upstairs private bonus room ideal for a media center or home office.
The residence boasts luxury finishes including soaring ceilings, plantation shutters, custom stone fireplaces, and a primary suite retreat with a spa-like bathroom and oversized closet.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 3701, other record living area = 3445.
The local elementary, middle, and high schools are all rated 3 out of 10, which may be a significant drawback for families prioritizing public education.
Despite the premium location, the property only offers 'Peek-A-Boo' views rather than the expansive mountain or golf course vistas often sought in the La Quinta desert.
