Nestled on a prime corner homesite in one of La Quinta's quietest neighborhoods, this custom-built single-level home is ready for move-in. Fully walled and gated, the all-flat property offers numerous private areas designed for outdoor enjoyment, including a gated side yard with turf and retractable awning, a covered rear patio, and a gated front yard with sunny patio. Indoors, the delightfully light-filled home hosts three bedrooms and two baths in approximately 1,559 square feet. Discover a double-door entry, fireplace-warmed living room, vaulted ceilings, and upgraded travertine tile in baths. Perfect for prepping meals and entertaining, the large open-concept kitchen displays a dining nook, a peninsula bar that is great for serving up fresh appetizers, generous stained-wood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, and stainless steel appliances including a newer Whirlpool double oven. The primary suite includes a private ensuite bath, and a secondary bedroom features a built-in desk. Appreciated appointments include plantation shutters, mirrored wardrobe doors, an attached two-car garage with direct interior access and a two-space driveway, a newer HVAC system, and a security system with cameras. Featuring just three streets, with two of them ending in cul-de-sacs, this desirable neighborhood has no HOA fees and is close to an elementary school, dining and shopping at Old Town La Quinta, and the historic La Quinta Resort.

Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1974, this home is well-maintained and move-in ready, with notable functional updates such as a newer HVAC system and stainless steel kitchen appliances (including a newer double oven). The bathrooms feature upgraded travertine tile. However, the kitchen's stained-wood cabinetry and solid-surface countertops, along with the bathroom vanities and light fixtures, appear dated in style. The carpet in the living room also contributes to an older aesthetic. While functional, the property shows signs of being aged with updates likely done 15-30 years ago, rather than a recent, extensive renovation, placing it in the 'Fair' category where minor cosmetic updates would enhance its appeal.
Pros & Cons

Pros

No HOA Fees: A significant financial advantage, as the property is located in a desirable neighborhood with no Homeowners Association fees, offering freedom from additional monthly costs and community regulations.
Prime & Quiet Location: Nestled on a prime corner homesite in one of La Quinta's quietest neighborhoods, with excellent proximity to Old Town La Quinta's dining, shopping, and the historic La Quinta Resort.
Enhanced Outdoor Living & Privacy: The property is fully walled and gated, offering numerous private outdoor areas including a gated side yard with turf and retractable awning, a covered rear patio, and a sunny front patio.
Key System Updates & Interior Appointments: Features a newer HVAC system, upgraded travertine tile in baths, stainless steel kitchen appliances (including a newer double oven), vaulted ceilings, and plantation shutters, contributing to comfort and aesthetic appeal.
Single-Level Custom Design: A custom-built, single-level home offers desirable accessibility and a unique character, appealing to a broad range of buyers.

Cons

Property Age: Built in 1974, the home is 50 years old. While some updates are noted, potential buyers may anticipate future maintenance or upgrades to original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as recently replaced.
Modest Square Footage: At 1,559 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest compared to some newer or renovated properties in the area, which might limit appeal for buyers seeking more expansive layouts.
Absence of Community Amenities: While the lack of HOA fees is a benefit, it also means the property does not offer the resort-style amenities (e.g., communal pools, spas, fitness centers, gated security) often found in managed communities within La Quinta.
