Scenic views of the Santa Rosa Mountains and an impressive list of preferred upgrades embellish this move-in-ready home at La Quinta's guard-gated lakeside community of Laguna de la Paz. Located close to a pathway that leads to the resort community's luxurious clubhouse and gorgeous lake, the single-level residence greets visitors with a gated side entry patio. Enjoy a custom pond with fountain, overhead lighting, and a party-ready built-in BBQ station with grill, two burners and sink. Paver-finished decking enhances the patio and continues to a private backyard with sun and shade areas, an open-air fireplace and motorized shades. Appreciated attention to detail shines indoors as well throughout a three-bedroom, two-bath floorplan that extends approximately 1,852 square feet. Natural light and a true sense of openness complement a living room with backyard access, custom linear fireplace, and a massive custom-built walnut cabinet, creating an ideal space for entertaining. A towering ceiling crowns the dining room, which features a bay window, patio views and a seamless transition to a newly remodeled kitchen with quartzite countertops, an island with built-in recycle system, and white Shaker cabinetry by Thomasville with pull-outs and glass uppers. Stainless steel GE Cafe appliances include a French-door refrigerator, six-burner cooktop, a French-door oven and Advantium speed-cook oven. Opening to the backyard, the primary suite is spacious and private, complete with a walk-in closet with built-in storage, and a remodeled bath with freestanding tub, walk-in shower, floor-to-ceiling large-format tile surrounds, custom vanity with two sinks, Kohler plumbing fixtures, and a Euroto toilet/bidet with auto functions. A stacked large-capacity Samsung washer and dryer set is joined by cabinetry in the laundry room, and the attached two-car garage includes built-in storage and a Frigidaire refrigerator. Desirable upgrades continue with a custom secondary bath, plantation shutters, tile flooring, high-end carpet, exterior sun screens, mounted TVs, ceiling fans and contemporary lighting fixtures. Residents of Laguna de la Paz enjoy boating and catch-and-release fishing on the lake, 15 pools, 16 spas, a 24-hour fitness center, scenic trails, and tennis and pickleball courts. Golf courses, opulent resorts, vibrant shopping centers, casual and fine-dining restaurants, and Old Town La Quinta are only minutes from home.
