After $40,000 in upgrades this home captures the essence of hacienda-style living La Quinta is famous for, a cool retreat in the land of eternal sun! The colorful tile in the remodeled kitchen and 3/4 bath features designer talavera accents which delight the eye and seem all the brighter in contrast to the rich Saltillo-like tiles throughout. The center piece of the great room floor plan is a magnificent redesigned hearth, perfect for taking the chill off winter nights. French doors open from the great room and master bedroom to the secluded and private back yard, lushly landscaped with palms, giant bird of paradise, angel trumpets, and plumeria. Live off the land with your own lemons, figs, nectarines, apricots and more! And there's more here than meets the eye: The air conditioner, water heater, appliances and kitchen cabinets have been replaced as have kitchen and bathroom plumbing. Lighting and windows have been added to let the sunshine in and make your La Quinta dream a reality!
