THE CITRUS: Modern, spacious and move-in ready, 50831 Cereza offers an exceptional combination of quality, scale and value within The Citrus. Built in 2007, the approximately 3,500-square-foot home features steel-frame construction--stronger and more costly than conventional framing, and a hallmark of quality rarely found in homes built today.All primary living spaces are conveniently located on the ground floor, allowing the home to live like a single-level residence. Upstairs, a private guest suite with an office nook and balcony creates an ideal retreat for visitors, remote work or extended stays.Soaring ceilings, a dramatic staircase and clean contemporary finishes give the interior a bright, sophisticated feel. The expansive primary suite includes a huge walk-in closet, while the well-appointed kitchen offers an eight-burner range, double ovens, a dedicated ice maker, walk-in pantry and butler's pantry.Another standout feature is the oversized three-car garage--an increasingly rare find in The Citrus. It provides exceptional flexibility for multiple vehicles, a golf cart, additional storage or a workshop.Outside, a private courtyard and fenced, landscaped backyard are ready to enjoy as-is or transform with a custom pool. A proposal of approximately $90,000 for a full pool is available, giving the next owner control over its design, finishes and timing. Even with that investment, the total would be approximately $1,315,000--or $377 per square foot--compared with recent nearby sales at $393 and $443 per square foot.Offered at $1,225,000, 50831 Cereza is the largest home in its immediate competitive set, combining modern design, flexible living, exceptional construction and compelling value in one of La Quinta's most desirable gated communities.
