Rich in architectural character, this inviting home captures the essence of desert resort living with graceful arches, soaring ceilings, designer lighting, and seamless indoor-outdoor spaces. A spacious enclosed entry courtyard welcomes you with an ideal setting for alfresco dining, entertaining, or relaxing under the desert sky. French doors connect the courtyard to the expansive great room, where an open layout flows into the gourmet kitchen featuring a center island, walk-in pantry, butler's pantry/prep area, and abundant cabinetry. Three sliding glass doors open from the great room to your private backyard oasis, featuring a sparkling pool, covered Arizona Room, lush landscaping, custom BBQ island, and pergola with additional seating. Multiple outdoor gathering areas make it easy to enjoy La Quinta's beautiful surroundings.
