Magical is the only way to describe the entrance to this charming home! Custom wrought iron gates open to a courtyard designed for entertaining. Unexpected decor delights the senses - a whimsical metal cactus underscores the desert theme and mountain view, the resident hummingbirds enliven the patio, and exquisite glass French doors welcome you inside. Stainless steel appliances grace a bright chef's kitchen; maple cabinets offer great storage, and a sunny breakfast nook completes the picture. All bedrooms feature an en suite bath, and one suite is a detached casita, which will delight your guests. The powder room features a sophisticated palette and a gorgeous hand-selected sink. Lighting has been upgraded, ceiling fans have been added, and the fireplace boasts a saltillo hearth and surround. In back, you'll enjoy the privacy of a serene green belt, bright with promise in the morning and shaded for relaxation in the afternoon. A pool and tennis court are just across the street. Join in the ambiance of the nearby La Quinta Resort, or enjoy the shops and restaurants in close proximity at Old Town! Come find your place in the sun!
