    A stunning modern desert retreat, completely reimagined from top to bottom, this exceptional residence in Lago La Quinta offers beautiful south-west-facing views of Santa Rosa Mountain. This home has been transformed by leading Southern California designers, with every surface and system thoughtfully upgraded to deliver a cohesive, high-end result. Interior improvements include all-new 24x48 Anthea Grey porcelain flooring throughout the main living areas, plush Dreamweaver carpeting in all bedrooms and closets, solid-core Shaker-style interior doors, custom-designed closet systems, new recessed LED lighting with designer fixtures, and brand-new Milgard sliding glass doors and windows. The fully redesigned kitchen features custom white oak Cleaf cabinetry with soft-close drawers and pull-outs, a complete stainless steel LG appliance suite including double oven and gas range, honed quartz countertops, and a full-height matching backsplash. The living room is anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling porcelain-tile fireplace wall with a new lava-ball gas insert, complemented by custom built-ins with floating shelves, wine storage, and a KitchenAid wine-and-beverage refrigerator. All three bedrooms are spacious en-suites with spa-inspired bathrooms featuring custom double vanities, walk-in showers, and extensive built-in storage, while the primary suite includes a custom dressing area, built-in dresser, luxurious soaking tub, and walk-in glass shower. Additional upgrades include a new 3-ton Goodman HVAC unit, new Therma-Tru front and patio doors, updated landscaping with new plantings and drip irrigation, and a septic system improvement completed in 2024, including a new seepage pit, providing added peace of mind for future ownership. The guest bedrooms and main living area are thoughtfully arranged around a private interior courtyard, creating an additional outdoor living space with exceptional privacy. The two-car garage includes a dedicated golf cart space with its own separate driveway. Located within Lago La Quinta, a private gated enclave of 72 homes featuring three community pools and spas, tennis/pickleball courts, and set alongside the renowned La Quinta Country Club, this home delivers timeless modern design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and effortless luxury just minutes from Old Town La Quinta, world-class golf, dining, and resort living.
