Property Description
Experience desert living at its finest in this elegant 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom South La Quinta estate, complete with a private detached casita. Built in 2006 and offering approximately 3,150 sq. ft., this residence blends timeless architecture with refined finishes. Dramatic soaring ceilings, graceful archways, and numerous French doors create a seamless flow between indoor sophistication and outdoor serenity. Featuring a formal living room, formal dining room, and inviting family room off the kitchen with breakfast nook, the thoughtful floor plan offers exceptional space for both everyday living and entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, and a butler's pantry designed for effortless hosting. Multiple gathering spaces provide both grand scale and intimate comfort, while the expansive primary suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spacious spa-inspired bath. Set on an oversized lot with abundant space to create the ultimate resort-style backyard, this property presents an exceptional opportunity to personalize and elevate an already stunning home. A comparable residence with a pool recently sold for approximately $1.1 million, making this thoughtfully priced offering an incredible value. Priced below recent comparable sales to reflect the opportunity for a pool and cosmetic modernization, this home allows the next owner to create their own vision while building immediate equity. Imagine transforming the backyard into a private desert oasis and updating the interiors to today's designer aesthetic--all while owning one of the most desirable floor plans in the neighborhood. Located within the gated community of Carmela, adjacent to the prestigious Madison Club, the low monthly HOA includes front yard landscaping, controlled access, a sports court, and a playground. Opportunities to own this sought-after floor plan are rare, and this exceptional home is being offered turnkey furnished. Don't miss your chance to secure one of South La Quinta's best values.
