Bright sunny home in the highly sought after Ventana Section of the luxury gated community of Rancho La Quinta. Originally a model home, this light and bright Mediterranean style south-facing home features high ceilings throughout, great picture windows, mountain views, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, attached 3-car garage with plenty of cabinets, plantation shutters, and an open floor plan with unique Saltillo tile and textured plaster walls throughout. The gorgeous private courtyard is ideal for dining and entertaining al fresco, enjoying the sparkling fountain, or luxuriating in the extra-large spa, which has been completely redone with pebble tech and new equipment. The cook's kitchen features all Viking appliances, lovely granite top island and kitchen counters, and a scenic kitchen eating area with a large corner window onto the idyllic courtyard. The primary bedroom opens onto the courtyard through charming French doors, bringing the outdoors into the bedroom. The primary bedroom suite includes a large bathroom with double vanities, shower, soaking tub, and large walk-in closet. Unlike so many homes in the desert, this house is a 10 out of 10 for charm factor. Many upgrades and improvements done by current owners, including new exterior paint and landscaping, air conditioning, interior and exterior lighting, new ceiling fans, and so much more. Also, the electricity is supplied by IID, with reduced electricity bills compared to SCE. Furnishings negotiable.
