Property is move-in ready.
Built in 2005, this property is in move-in ready condition and appears exceptionally well-maintained. The gourmet kitchen features high-quality cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, and stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms are updated with designer lighting, dual sinks, and stone finishes. While the home is approximately 20 years old, the 'turnkey' furnished status, high-end fixtures, and pristine resort-style outdoor amenities indicate it has been updated and maintained beyond the standard for its age, though it lacks the full recent gut-renovation required for an 'excellent' rating.
The property features an exceptional backyard oasis with a pool, California Room, custom BBQ island, and a private courtyard, perfectly capturing the quintessential La Quinta indoor-outdoor lifestyle.
Sold tastefully furnished with designer lighting throughout, this home offers a seamless move-in experience or an immediate opportunity for a high-end seasonal rental.
The kitchen is highly functional and luxurious, featuring a center island, a dedicated butler's pantry with extensive storage, and a large walk-in pantry, ideal for entertaining.
The assigned public schools for this address currently hold low ratings (3/10), which may limit the property's appeal to families prioritizing high-performing educational districts.
Built in 2005, the home is approaching a 20-year milestone where original major systems, such as HVAC units and pool equipment, may soon require capital investment for updates or replacement.
