About This Property

Upper La Quinta Cove Retreat with Mountain Views & Pool. Tucked in the heart of the desirable La Quinta Cove, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and desert living -- just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Old Town La Quinta. Enjoy stunning mountain views from your own backyard oasis, featuring a quaint pool shaded by three custom sail canopies and enclosed with a newly installed safety gate for peace of mind. The pool has been meticulously maintained with annual professional draining and deep cleaning. Outdoor entertaining is easy with a built-in grill, freshly and professionally serviced and deep cleaned, ready for your next gathering.

Inside, thoughtful upgrades continue with new mirrors in the primary bathroom, a handy wall shelf in the secondary bath, and upgraded Kohler multifunction handheld shower fixtures in both bathrooms. Room-darkening curtains have been added throughout the kitchen, living room, and third bedroom, which also features an adorable custom-cushioned window seat -- a sweet, versatile nook for reading or play. Enjoy high ceilings, Saltillo tile floors, mature green walls, and easy access to great hiking, parks, and more. Move-in ready and thoughtfully cared for, this home is a rare opportunity in one of La Quinta's most beloved neighborhoods.
