Framed by sweeping Santa Rosa Mountain views, this beautifully upgraded home is located within the guard-gated lakeside community of Laguna de la Paz. Just moments from a pathway leading to the clubhouse and lake, the residence welcomes you through a private gated side-entry patio designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. The outdoor spaces feel curated and inviting, featuring a custom pond with fountain, ambient lighting, and a built-in BBQ station with grill, dual burners, and sink. Paver decking extends to a private backyard retreat with sun and shade areas, an open-air fireplace, and motorized shades for year-round comfort. Inside, approximately 1,852 square feet unfold across a bright single-level three-bedroom, two-bath layout filled with natural light and thoughtful detail. The living room offers backyard access, a sleek custom linear fireplace, and a striking custom-built walnut cabinet that anchors the space. A soaring ceiling crowns the dining area, where a bay window frames patio views and flows into the newly remodeled kitchen. The kitchen showcases quartzite countertops, a center island with built-in recycle system, and white Thomasville Shaker cabinetry with pull-outs and glass uppers. Stainless steel GE Café appliances include a French-door refrigerator, six-burner cooktop, French-door oven, and Advantium speed-cook oven. A standout upgrade is the installation of new solid-core interior doors throughout, adding a substantial, refined feel while enhancing privacy and sound insulation. The spacious primary suite opens to the backyard and features a walk-in closet with custom built-ins and a remodeled bath with freestanding tub, walk-in shower with large-format tile surrounds, dual-sink vanity, Kohler fixtures, and a Euro-style bidet toilet with integrated functions. Additional highlights include an updated secondary bath, plantation shutters, tile flooring, high-end carpet, contemporary lighting, ceiling fans, exterior sun screens, mounted TVs, and a well-appointed laundry room. The attached two-car garage offers built-in storage and a refrigerator. Laguna de la Paz residents enjoy boating and catch-and-release fishing on the lake, 15 pools, 16 spas, a 24-hour fitness center, scenic trails, and tennis and pickleball courts--all just minutes from golf, resorts, shopping, dining, and Old Town La Quinta.
