WOW! Modern hacienda meets California cool! Motor up the circular drive and enjoy this FABULOUS private setting atop a double-lot in La Quinta Cove’s most desirable pocket. Beautifully curated outdoor lighting works its MAGIC at night. Private South facing pool + mountain views score big! Outdoor conversation areas frame the stunning pebble-finished kidney shaped pool. Built-in barbecue with fridge + wet bar. LOVING the big focus on outdoor living. Formal living and picture-perfect dining take center stage inside and the mood is set. There’s a more casual “sunken” media room as well. Rustic wood beams play beautifully with vaulted ceilings and Spanish tile underfoot. The gorgeous stone fireplace with built-in cabinets circa 1959 is a delight. Open concept kitchen with modern finishes and breakfast bar + view. There’s a nice mix of traditional cabinets and modern open shelving. More beamed and vaulted ceilings here as well. Bedrooms and bathrooms enjoy a nice separation with an Ensuite Primary opening to an outdoor sitting area with mountain views. Bathroom design and finishes are Dwell Magazine worthy. Guest Bedroom #2 is positioned off the main hall and here again we find an exceptional bath in terms of finishes and size. Guest Bedroom #3 is currently configured with a cool bunkbed configuration! A solid list of upgrades in recent years is another plus including newer windows, electrical improvements, tankless water heater, and hardscape + landscape additions. Laundry located in the 2-car garage plus there’s guest parking along the circular drive. The best of Old Town La Quinta is a short hop away and The Cove’s popular hiking trials are a fun option. Enjoy it all!
