Step out onto the covered patio with your morning coffee and you'll see why this one is special. Open fairways run right up to the back lawn, and the Santa Rosa Mountains fill the horizon. The patio faces west, so evenings end with the mountains turning gold and the sky putting on a show.It starts at the front gate. A walled courtyard with bougainvillea and desert plantings leads to double wood entry doors, and the whole home is on one level with no steps. Inside, the great room has vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, a gas fireplace, and walls of glass that bring the view indoors. The kitchen has a pantry, breakfast counter, and stainless appliances including a double wall oven. It opens to the dining area and wet bar, so whoever is cooking stays part of the conversation.The primary suite opens to the patio and has a spa-style bath with a soaking tub, large walk-in shower, and dual vanities. Both guest bedrooms have their own baths, and the second bedroom has its own private patio, so visitors get real privacy. A powder room, individual laundry room, tile floors, and shutters round it out.The home is clean, bright, and offered turnkey furnished (some artwork, decor, and select furniture excluded), so you can arrive with a suitcase and start living. Two-car detached garage plus a golf cart garage.Duna La Quinta is a gated golf community, and the HOA covers grounds, security, and trash, so your time goes to enjoying the desert instead of maintaining it. Old Town La Quinta, dining, shopping, and more golf are minutes away.
