Backing to a beautiful greenbelt and surrounded by up-close views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, this elegantly upgraded La Quinta home presents an outstanding turnkey opportunity. Offering a quiet setting near the back of guard-gated Laguna de la Paz, the single-level residence is a brief stroll from the community pools and spas. Professionally maintained and manicured landscaping elevates grounds that features a gated side entrance and a backyard with large covered patio for the ultimate in outdoor relaxation and socializing. Entertaining indoors is exceptional as well thanks to an open floorplan that measures approximately 1,852 square feet. A formal entry flows directly to three bedrooms, two baths, and a generously proportioned living room that displays an upgraded stacked-stone fireplace, patio access, and a mirrored wet bar with under-cabinet beverage refrigerator. Natural light illuminates an open-concept kitchen with island, white cabinetry including a built-in pantry, granite countertops with full backsplash, upgraded stainless steel KitchenAid appliances, and a casual dining nook with extra-high ceiling and bay window. Custom recessed art lighting, tile flooring, high-end carpet in bedrooms, mirrored wardrobe doors, and custom crown and base molding lend an air of distinction throughout. Opening to the patio, the primary suite is a private sanctuary that reveals a walk-in closet with custom built-in organizers and drawers, two sinks, a soaking tub and separate shower. A convenient laundry room with cabinetry leads to an attached two-car garage. Centered around a shimmering five-acre lake that offers paddle and pontoon boats and catch-and-release fishing, Laguna de la Paz is a true desert oasis. Residents enjoy a luxurious clubhouse, 15 pools, 16 spas, a 24-hour fitness center, scenic trails, and tennis and pickleball courts. Golf courses, shopping centers, restaurants and Old Town La Quinta are minutes away.
