Both the front and back gardens are enclosed by stucco walls and the front patio is a great place to enjoy the morning sun. The kitchen opens via two double glass doors onto the back patio which has a saltwater (unheated) pool, gas grill, table for ten and a covered lounge area. It's a beautiful and tranquil space to enjoy your desert lifestyle.The living room still has the original fireplace. The primary bedroom has direct access to the back patio and a view of the mountain and an en suite bath with handpainted tile made in the American Southwest. The guest bedrooms are in a jack and jill formation, sharing a remodeled bathroom. One guest bedroom looks out onto the pool area. AC and heat is provided by ductless mini splits in each room. Gorgeous Minka Aire ceiling fans in each bedroom and the living area. The remodeled kitchen has a Bertazzoni induction range and a Viking refrigerator/freezer, Kitchen Aid dishwasher. Gorgeous palo verde and olive trees protect your privacy and there are citrus trees inside the front patio. Walk to Old Town La Quinta.
