Property Description
Perched on a premium corner lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this Starlight Dunes residence offers a sophisticated retreat within one of North La Quinta's most coveted gated enclaves. From the moment you arrive, the desert-inspired landscaping and expansive lot set a tone of privacy and refined style. Inside, the home has been reimagined with a modern aesthetic and an airy, open floor plan. The living space centers around a striking stacked-stone fireplace, complemented by updated flooring and designer lighting that flows seamlessly throughout. Culinary enthusiasts will gravitate toward the gourmet kitchen, a masterfully executed space featuring custom cabinetry, granite slab countertops, and professional-grade stainless steel appliances. A breakfast bar and stylish tile backsplash add both function and flair to this heart of the home. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary of luxury. The ensuite bath is a showpiece of Carrera stone, featuring a glass-enclosed shower, a deep spa tub, and dual vanities. Every detail has been considered, from the custom built-ins in the walk-in closet to the sliding glass doors that provide direct access to the outdoor amenities. The backyard is an absolute oasis, designed for both relaxation and grand-scale entertaining. Framed by dramatic, unobstructed mountain views, the expansive patio leads to a shimmering pool and a raised spa. Whether you're enjoying a quiet morning coffee or hosting an evening under the stars, this outdoor space offers a rare level of seclusion and beauty. With updated baseboards, custom shutters, and recessed lighting throughout, this home represents a perfect blend of contemporary design and timeless desert allure.
