Property Description

Spanish retreat located in the Estates of Carmela. This home captures the essence of La Quinta resort-style living with its striking Spanish architecture and inviting, open layout. High ceilings and graceful arches add character throughout the interior, enhancing the resort feel. The entry features a large, enclosed courtyard accessed through French doors, promoting wonderful indoor-outdoor flow. The expansive great room connects seamlessly to this courtyard on one side and, on the other, opens via three sliding doors to the spacious, private backyard oasis, complete with a pool and an enclosed California Room. The great room is open to the gourmet kitchen, which features a center island, beautiful designer lighting, a large walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry/prep area with extensive storage and cabinet space. Designer lighting is a feature throughout the entire home. The large Primary Suite is a true retreat, offering a separate French door entrance to the backyard. The Primary Bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower, dual sinks, a separate soaking tub, and a large walk-in closet. The two guest bedrooms are generously sized. One features a private outdoor sitting area, and the other is large enough to function as a casita or office and includes French doors opening to the main entry courtyard. The guest bathroom is equipped with dual sinks and a large shower/bath combination. The backyard is spacious and private, providing numerous enclosed areas perfect for relaxing around the pool. It also features a custom BBQ island and a beautiful pergola for additional seating. The property includes a dedicated side area for gardening, complete with lemon and lime trees. The landscaping is drought-tolerant and equipped with sprinkler drip lines to all plants and trees, complemented by beautiful accent lighting. This home is being sold comfortably and tastefully furnished. Located in an elite and lively town, you will enjoy sunshine all year round and never a shortage of activities, including great entertainment, shopping, and dining. The area is also close to PGA Golf, the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, and offers abundant biking and hiking trails.
