The pinnacle of Palm Desert living awaits at this spacious pool home in the intimate guard-gated enclave of Montecito, where custom modern art and cascading fountains greet all who visit. Extending approximately 3,063 square feet across an open single-level floorplan, the upscale residence is filled with light and welcomes residents and guests through a gated front courtyard and double entry doors. Formal spaces embellish entertaining and include a dining room with elegant chandelier, and a generously sized living room with pool views and an extra-high ceiling. Relax by a corner fireplace in a family room with backyard access, custom built-in entertainment center and a walk-in wet bar that is destined to be a hit during parties. Open to the family room, the kitchen showcases a split-level peninsula with bar-height seating, an island, walk-in pantry, granite countertops, furniture-caliber wood cabinetry, an under-counter beverage refrigerator, and stainless steel KitchenAid appliances including a double-oven. Ideal for casual meals and impromptu game nights with neighbors, a large breakfast room opens to the backyard. Four bedrooms and three- and one-half baths include a powder room with classic pedestal sink and custom paint, an ensuite guest bedroom with built-in Murphy bed, and a detached casita with its own private entrance--ideal for guests, extended stays, or a private office. Experience the luxury of a primary suite that features backyard access, a sitting area, in-ceiling speakers and a walk-in closet. Tile surrounds reach the ceiling and complement the primary bath's soaking tub, separate shower, dual sinks and a sit-down vanity. A rooftop solar array helps power the home, and upgraded carpet, tile flooring, plantation shutters, custom paint and an attached three-car garage are on display. Private and beautifully landscaped, the homesite measures almost 10,019 square feet, allowing ample room for a resort-inspired backyard with pool, spa, a built-in BBQ island and water-saving turf. Montecito is nestled next to the Desert Willow Country Club in the heart of Palm Desert. Luxury shopping and fine dining are minutes away on El Paseo, and Rancho Mirage, Palm Springs and La Quinta are moments from home.
