Description

Experience the charm of Spanish Villa living in the desirable Estates of Carmela in La Quinta! 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.

The generous primary suite offers French doors to the backyard, a spacious walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests or a home office. One enjoys a private outdoor sitting area; the other opens to the entry courtyard through French doors, creating a casita-style feel. The guest bath features dual sinks and a shower/tub combination. Thoughtful landscaping includes drought-tolerant plants, drip irrigation, accent lighting, and a dedicated garden area with lemon and lime trees. Offered tastefully furnished, this home is ready for full-time enjoyment or a seasonal desert escape.
