Property Description

Turnkey furnished at asking price and ready to enjoy from day one, this inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an exceptionally easy path to homeownership in Watercolors, a gated 55+ community in La Quinta. Thoughtfully arranged for comfortable everyday living, the bright and open interior features vaulted ceilings, a welcoming living room with fireplace, and an easy connection between the kitchen, dining, and main gathering spaces. Furnishings are included at asking price, creating a true move-in-ready opportunity without the added expense or inconvenience of furnishing a home after closing. The flexible three-bedroom floor plan provides space for overnight guests, a home office, hobbies, or whatever best fits your lifestyle. An attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience and additional storage, while the home's manageable footprint makes it equally appealing for full-time desert living or buyers looking to simplify into a lower-maintenance residence. Beyond the home, Watercolors offers a relaxed desert lifestyle with a gated entrance, community pool, spa, and clubhouse, all within convenient reach of La Quinta's shopping, dining, recreation, healthcare, and everyday amenities. Combining a desirable La Quinta location, community amenities, and the added value of being offered furnished at asking price, this is an opportunity to move in, settle down, and start enjoying the desert lifestyle right away.
