Welcome to Starlight Dunes, where space, privacy, and true desert-style outdoor living come together in one standout North La Quinta home. This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom residence spans approximately 3,000 sq. ft. and is designed for the way you actually live: the primary suite is privately separated from the other bedrooms, and you'll love the flexibility of a loft plus a bonus room off the primary, perfect for a home office, gym, or retreat space. The kitchen is amazing and features Quartzite countertops, custom cabinetry and stainless appliances. The 3-car garage adds the storage and functionality buyers are always looking for. Step outside and you'll see what makes this home special: the backyard is built for entertaining year-round with a custom lighted patio cover, a BBQ island with a pop-up TV, and a built-in space heater for those crisp desert evenings, along with a sparkling pool and spa that turns every weekend into a staycation. The location is prime, just minutes to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden (home of the BNP Paribas Open) and the Empire Polo Grounds (home to Coachella and Stagecoach), plus all the dining, golf, and shopping that make the Coachella Valley so desirable. Schedule your private showing today and come experience it in person.
