Property Description

This beautifully appointed, south-facing residence captures spectacular, unobstructed views of the Santa Rosa Mountains, the Pete Dye-designed golf course, and the surrounding desert landscape. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the southern side of the home, filling the interiors with natural light while framing the remarkable scenery from nearly every main living space. Ideally situated near The Citrus Club clubhouse, the home offers convenient access to the club's exceptional amenities while providing a private, resort-like setting of its own. Offered fully furnished, this exceptional residence is truly turnkey and ready to enjoy. The spacious, thoughtfully designed floor plan features three bedrooms, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. The oversized primary suite is a serene retreat, complete with direct patio access through elegant double French doors. The inviting kitchen features new appliances--including a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher--along with a charming breakfast nook that creates a natural gathering place for casual dining and conversation. Designed for effortless desert living and entertaining, the home also offers a welcoming family room, formal living and dining rooms, and a stylish wet bar with a new wine refrigerator. Recent interior enhancements elevate the home throughout, including new motorized blinds in the family and living rooms, new baseboards, upgraded LED ceiling lighting with new bedroom lighting, and new Decora screwless switches and outlets. The air-conditioning system was newly installed in 2022, and both garage door openers have also been replaced. The outdoor living spaces are equally impressive. A sparkling pool and spa overlook the fairway and dramatic Santa Rosa Mountains, creating an exceptional backdrop for relaxing and entertaining. Recent upgrades include a new pool heater, salt chlorinator, and Pentair control panel, along with new automated Corona landscape lighting in both the front and rear yards. New turf landscaping enhances the front of the property, while a new awning and updated awning controls provide added comfort for enjoying the patio throughout the day. From quiet mornings overlooking the mountains to sunset gatherings beside the pool, this residence embodies the best of the La Quinta lifestyle. The Citrus Club offers members resort-style amenities, world-class golf, and a vibrant social atmosphere--all within the gates of one of the desert's most desirable communities.
