Located in the heart of north La Quinta on a quiet cul-de-sac sits this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom beauty offering nearly 2,000 SF. and loads of charm! The homeowner has cared for this home and loved it immensely, and it shows. Upgrades include a stunning custom 'lava' granite slab fireplace, shutters, exotic granite slab counters, custom cabinets with hardware throughout, additional cabinets/storage in the hall, tile showers with glass enclosures, stainless steel appliances, tile floors in part of the home, and updated baseboards.  This home offers a lot of natural light and nice touches with the bullnose corners and vaulted ceilings. Both the front and backyard have extensive custom flagstone, stone planters/walls, lush landscape, built-in BBQ, and an amazing tropical waterfall that turns on with a switch.  Buyers will appreciate the low maintenance backyard and gorgeous mountain views. This location is always in demand with the lower electric district for extra energy savings, and IB World schools in walking distance.  The HVAC was just replaced in 2022 and the hot water heater in 2019. Convenient 3-car garage with storage. Complete exterior paint in 2020. This is the first time this home will have ever been on the market as this is the original owner. Don't let this one get away!
