Nestled on a cul-de-sac in guard gated exclusive and sought-after La Quinta Golf Estates at the historic La Quinta Country Club. The double door entry leads to an expansive great room radiating with warmth and comfort from the large rustic brick fireplace and gently vaulted ceilings. Adjacent to the living room is a formal dining room with built-in china cabinet, buffet, and wet bar with beverage refrigerator. An entertainer's dream! The kitchen has granite counters, a center island, honey colored cabinets, double oven, warming drawer and large pantry. The kitchen also features a breakfast nook - what a thoughtful idea and useful space! Adjoining the kitchen is the laundry/utility room with sink and room for a 2nd refrigerator. The arrangement of the living room, dining room, kitchen and outdoor patio exemplifies entertaining on a grand or intimate scale. In addition to a spacious office (which could be a family room) there are 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. The covered patio is generous and features an electric awning and lush and mature landscaping perfect for intimate outdoor dining. The house sets back from the street for an additional notion of privacy. There is a 3 car garage with ample storage. Plus low HOA dues and in Imperial Irrigation District for low electric bills!
