About This Home

As of February 2024

Experience resort-style living in the heart of the desert, offering the ultimate entertainment haven! This property, nestled within the exclusive Desert Club Estates—one of La Quinta's most sought-after non-HOA neighborhoods—is a walled, gated, and private oasis.

The home has been completely remodeled (Over $100,000) from top to bottom and boasts a seamless and open floor plan that enhances the overall flow.

The spacious interior spans 2777 square feet and encompasses 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a stylish dining area, and a chef's kitchen complete with an island—perfect for hosting gatherings. Two ensuite primary bedrooms are strategically positioned at opposite ends of the home, each opening up to the inviting pool area and featuring spa-inspired bathrooms, dual vanities, and spacious closets.

Guest bedroom #3, also ensuite, is conveniently located off the kitchen, providing direct access to the patio. Bedrooms #4 and #5 offer a pleasant separation from the main hall, ensuring privacy for all occupants. Outside, a series of pergolas frame the impressive pool and elevated spa, creating an elegant backdrop for entertaining. The barbecue area, complete with a bar sink and finished in brick, adds a touch of style to your outdoor gatherings.

Additional features include a tiled outdoor shower and multiple conversation areas, allowing you to enjoy the breathtaking sunset views. The bricked front courtyard provides a charming space for family time. For added convenience, Old Town La Quinta and the Civic Center are within easy walking or biking distance, offering a variety of dining and drinking options. This property is truly a desert retreat that combines luxury, privacy, and entertainment seamlessly.
