Property Description

Welcome to Watercolors, one of La Quinta’s hidden gems, an inviting 55+ community designed for comfort, connection, and easy living. Situated on a quiet corner lot, this beautifully maintained single-story home offers approximately 1,337 SF of well-planned space, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The open layout feels bright and welcoming, with high ceilings, abundant natural light, and a cozy gas fireplace, perfect for relaxing evenings or hosting family and friends. The kitchen is both practical and attractive, featuring granite countertops, warm cabinetry, and a convenient breakfast counter with generous storage, ideal for everyday living without the hassle. The spacious primary suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a large walk-in closet and an en-suite bath with dual vanities and an easy-access walk-in shower. A second bedroom is perfect for guests, while the third offers flexibility as a home office, hobby room, or den. This home is thoughtfully equipped for comfort and convenience, including an attached 2-car garage, indoor laundry room with cabinetry, ceiling fans throughout, new remote controlled window coverings and ADA-height toilets for added ease. The upgraded HVAC system ensures year-round comfort, while the private side courtyard and covered patio create a perfect setting for quiet mornings or outdoor relaxation. Enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle with HOA dues that include cable and internet, along with access to community amenities such as a pool, spa, and clubhouse. Watercolors also offers a welcoming social atmosphere, with community breakfasts, events, and seasonal gatherings that make it easy to connect with neighbors and feel right at home. Furnishings negotiable. IMPORTANT: Watercolors is a moderate-income housing community. The property carries a $100,000 silent second with the La Quinta Housing Authority. There is no interest due or payments on the silent 2nd. Purchase price + silent second = total purchase price, $325,000 + $100,000 = $425,000. Buyer needs to qualify for the lesser amount minus their down payment up to 20%. Buyers must qualify for a loan and have income limits as required by the City of La Quinta. The home must be a primary residence and owner occupied. No investors, rentals or cash purchases are permitted. Please see listing supplements for more information.
