The heart of this casita is the beautifully remodeled kitchen, featuring premium Bertazzoni induction range, Viking refrigerator/freezer, & KitchenAid dishwasher. The fully furnished turnkey home creates a seamless transition from indoor to outdoor living through dramatic double glass French doors that open wide to blur the lines between the remodeled interior & your private backyard sanctuary, where a saltwater pool, built-in Santa Maria grill, & plenty of space for entertaining await. The covered lounge area provides the perfect retreat for enjoying your private slice of desert paradise. The living room showcases the home’s original character with its historic fireplace, while beautiful saltillo tiles flow throughout the home.

The primary suite offers direct patio access, stunning mountain views, & an en suite bath adorned with handcrafted American Southwest tile work. On the opposite side of the home, two additional bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bathroom. This corner lot paradise sits directly adjacent to the mountains and across from Montezuma Street’s popular biking & hiking trails with access right out of your back gate. Located just minutes from Old Town La Quinta, which features many dining & shopping options, as well as a weekly Farmers Market, the La Quinta Art Festival, and more. The home is perfectly positioned near championship golf courses, Indian Wells Tennis Garden, Acrisure Arena, and Indio’s world-famous music festivals.
