About This Home

As of December 2022

Fixer in North La Quinta ready for your touches! This single family home has three bedrooms, two-and-a-half baths, just under 2400 square feet, has a fireplace, and a swimming pool. Notice the open floor plan in the living area. There is a good sized master suite and bath with dual sinks, and an enormous master closet. One very large guest bedroom enjoys a good-sized closet as well, and there is the third smaller bedroom with a closet. There are no alterations to the original floor plan. Home has original builder grade finishes. It is not a senior development, but in a sought-after, nicely maintained, quiet GATED COMMUNITY called 'STARLIGHT DUNES' and has EXCEPTIONALLY LOW HOMEOWNER FEES at ONLY $140 per month which is almost unheard of these days--particularly in a gated community. Original owner picked this interior lot location with no neighbor in back as it was extremely quiet and away from any busy streets. Property is being offered AS-IS. Although the original owner lives elsewhere, he is in the residence while it is for sale, therefore it will require an appointment. Fixer-Uppers are hard to find in this market particularly at a realistic price, but here is your opportunity to finally find one and make it yours.
