About this property
Welcome to 78420 Heritage Way in the highly sought-after gated community of Point Happy in La Quinta. Built in 2025 and barely lived in, this like-new residence offers a rare opportunity to own a modern home without the wait or added expense of new construction. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and a versatile flex room ideal for a home office, gym, or additional guest space, the home is designed with an open concept layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas for effortless everyday living and entertaining. The interior showcases top-tier upgrades and designer finishes rarely found at this price point, including 10-foot ceilings, custom designer paint, and Hunter Douglas window treatments. Flooring has been thoughtfully selected with glazed porcelain tile by Emser in the main living areas and bathrooms, complemented by wood-plank-look matte porcelain tile in the bedrooms, creating a seamless blend of durability and modern design. The chef's kitchen is equipped with GE Cafe smart appliances, polished quartz countertops, and upgraded lighting, delivering a clean, contemporary aesthetic throughout. The backyard is a private desert retreat featuring a saltwater pool and spa built by Teserra with smart controls, mountain views, expansive paver decking, and a covered patio ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation. Positioned on a premium corner lot with only one adjacent neighbor, the property offers enhanced privacy, a large side yard, and a spacious two-car garage + tandem area for golf cart or additional storage. Additional upgrades include professionally designed landscaping with artificial turf, irrigation, lighting, and drainage systems, along with solar for energy efficiency and long-term savings. Point Happy is one of La Quinta's most desirable gated communities, known for its rich history and exceptional central location. Ideally situated near Trader Joe's, coffee shops, restaurants, movie theaters, retail, essential services, and the best of the Coachella Valley lifestyle. An exceptional opportunity in a low HOA community, this is truly a ''Happy'' place to call home with close proximity to everything that matters.
