What's special
This wonderful North La Quinta property is burrowed in the highly desirable gated community of Starlight Dunes. Situated on a oversized 10,454 lot secluded by mature trees, foliage with a swimming pool/spa. A distinctive, single story, floor plan provides separation of the bedrooms from the living area with a secluded guest suite. The home integrates two original builder options of a double door entrance den (which could be modified with a closet) to the fifth bedroom and a (third garage option) of an office/bedroom. Boasting over 2,500 square feet, this four-bedroom (possible 5th bedroom), three-bath home is perfect for your growing family or for visiting guests. The spacious kitchen features a center island with granite tile countertops and a walk-in pantry with plenty of cabinetry for storage. This community is sought after for its location and proximity to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, 5-star dining, shopping, and entertainment. Dual gate access, prime location, and low HOA fees make this home an exception offering.
