Discover a rare and compelling offering in the popular 24-hour guard-gated community of Lake La Quinta. This extensively reimagined 4-bedroom, 3 full-bath residence delivers a level of design, finish, and privacy seldom found at this price point. Positioned between the community's lower and upper price tiers, this home offers elevated architectural quality without reaching the highest price echelon, a strategic opportunity in one of La Quinta's most desirable lake enclaves. Completely revitalized under the oversight of a meticulous, experienced real estate investor, all improvements were completed with permits and City of La Quinta supervision. The interior was opened and redesigned for light and flow, finished with large-format 24 x 48 porcelain tile, and enhanced with new doors, appliances, hardware, lighting, and refined detailing throughout. A sculptural electric fireplace wrapped in floor-to-ceiling acoustic wood paneling anchors the living space, complemented by a 75-inch display on a 180-degree mount and a custom 14-foot sliding glass wall that seamlessly connects indoors to the resort-style exterior. The living room's one-of-a-kind Asian-inspired wooden wet bar and expansive open-concept layout create a true centerpiece for entertaining. The expanded chef's kitchen is both architectural and functional, featuring a generous breakfast bar, porcelain countertops, custom cabinetry, roll-out storage, wine cubbies, a beverage cooler, a statement island, a professional 36-inch gas range with pot filler, matte black fixtures, and curated lighting. All bathrooms are fully remodeled with curbless showers, spa-inspired finishes, and updated design, including a reconfigured primary suite with a private wet room, soaking tub, rain shower, and ADA-conscious layout. A former office has been converted into a true fourth bedroom. Outdoors, the revitalized pool and spa with a flowing water feature create a private retreat, complemented by refreshed hardscape, upgraded landscaping, and a custom built-in gas grill with granite counter and storage designed for effortless entertaining. Lake La Quinta offers a 25-acre private lake with electric boating, kayaking, fishing, tennis courts, pool, park space, boat docks, and a shared boat club, ideally located on Adams Street between Highway 111 and Avenue 48. To fully appreciate the design, quality, and scope of this residence, experience it in person or review it alongside the extensive improvement list. We can't wait to impress you!
