About This Home

As of May 2025

Monticello is one of the most sought after communities in North La Quinta and this one is a special find! This beautifully maintained and charming home features 2325 sq. ft. of interior living space and flows with a great separation of rooms with well thought out privacy. Upon entering, notice the vaulted ceilings throughout with lots of windows providing natural light. The open floor plan features a large formal living and dining room and the family room, with cozy fireplace, is located off the heart of the home (the light and bright kitchen!) with a breakfast nook overlooking the wonderful outdoor living space. The backyard is an entertainer's dream with large pool and raised waterfall spa, a built-in BBQ, and custom pavers that cover the spacious patio and wrap around the side of the house. This property has amazing curb appeal with a huge 3 car garage with ample parking and storage space. Not only is this extremely desirable community tethered to one of the most renowned school districts in the entire Coachella Valley, it is also located in the IID electric district (which means lower utility bills), and walking distance to the charming community park. The homeowners have loved living here the last 21 years and have taken great care of this special home. Newer A/C and hot water heater are a bonus!
