About This Home

As of June 2020

Welcome to this beautifully upgraded turn key home. This property offers so many amazing features. Let's start with the large backyard that comes with a private pool/spa, bbq, shady areas, and mature palm and citrus trees. Once you have left your backyard paradise and come inside from a relaxing pool day, you will enter plenty of open space to relax inside. This home offers an oversized open kitchen, a nice pool table, all newer furniture and paint, floors, etc. There is even an optional 4th bedroom, which is used as such currently. And to top it off the location of this home is in an amazing upscale La Quinta neighborhood location near Indian Wells Tennis Courts. There are many restaurants, golf courses, hiking, tennis, etc very close to this property. This property is a great home for those that want to reside full time, have a vacation home, or rent it when away. The seller will even help manage your property if you'd like to rent it out when you are not using the home with your family and friends.
