About This Home
Step into this inviting single-story residence in Starlight Dunes, offering three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and a wonderfully flowing layout. Beyond the double-door entry, you'll find a comfortable living room and an adjacent formal dining area, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The separate great room features a cozy fireplace and it opens to the kitchen, which is appointed with tile flooring, granite countertops, and a breakfast nook framed by a large picture window overlooking the backyard. Sliding glass doors from both the living room and the generous primary suite provide easy access to a private backyard retreat, complete with a patio and a sparkling pool. The secondary bedrooms are well-sized, with ample windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Starlight Dunes is conveniently located near the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, home of the BNP Paribas Open, and just a short drive to the Empire Polo Grounds, where Coachella and Stagecoach are held.
