46500 Cameo Palms Drive La Quinta CA 92253 MLS #219140994DA

This Highland Palms home captures classic La Quinta living with effortless Rat Pack flair. Ideally located near Highway 111, with Trader Joe’s just a short flop-shot away, the neighborhood evokes the desert’s golden era–when Hollywood legends escaped to mid-century hideaways for sun-soaked weekends, martinis by the pool, and quiet mornings beneath the palms.

It’s no surprise homes are rarely offered for sale in this highly coveted enclave.Featured on HGTV’s Vacation Homes for Free, this Moroccan-inspired remodel is layered with mid-century modern influence. Clean lines, stained concrete floors, and an open floor plan create an effortless flow for entertaining or everyday living, anchored by a cozy natural gas fireplace. The kitchen features white quartz countertops with a waterfall island, gas range, stainless steel appliances, and a dedicated counter ice maker, while an attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience.Recent upgrades include an HVAC heating and cooling system, an A/C split in the garage, and a comprehensive WYZE smart home system with security cameras, doorbell, exterior flood lighting, interior smart bulbs, and keyless entry on four entry doors.
