Built in 2003, this property is 21 years old. While the primary bathroom shows an older style, the kitchen has been extensively renovated with high-end GE Cafe appliances, modern white cabinetry, and contemporary countertops/backsplash. At least one secondary bathroom has also been recently and stylishly updated with modern fixtures and tiling. The home features desirable elements like recessed lighting, plantation shutters, and well-maintained tile and carpet flooring. These significant updates in key areas make the property move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 15682, living area = 3277.
Exceptional Backyard Entertainment: The property boasts an entertainer's dream backyard featuring a private in-ground pool and spa, covered patio, built-in BBQ bar, and a large private putting green, ideal for outdoor living.

Spacious & Modern Interior Design: The home offers an open and spacious layout with high ceilings, recessed lights, plantation shutters, tile flooring in main areas, and an abundance of natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere.

Cons

Absence of Cooling System Mention: The property description does not specify the presence of a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which is a critical amenity for comfort in La Quinta's hot climate.
Recurring HOA Fees: A monthly association fee of $235.0 adds to the ongoing cost of homeownership, which potential buyers will need to factor into their budget.
Limited Premium Views: While offering a pleasant pool view, the property lacks the highly sought-after panoramic mountain or golf course views that often command a premium in the La Quinta market.
