About This Home

As of June 2019

Pride of ownership.... excellence at every glance. From the flagstone entry to the lushly landscaped back yard hideaway, this immaculate home high up in southside Joshua Tree, on nearly 2.5 acres is a keeper from day 1. The HVAC system and evaporative cooler, the 50 year shingle roof, dual-pane windows, tile floors and countertops, stainless steel appliances, graveled and landscaped yards with irrigation systems... are all upgrades from the original high-end construction. Fenced rear yard with rv access, enclosed sunroom on south side... 3 bed, 2 bath, fireplace, all contained in over 2000 sq feet of that pristine and relaxed environment that Joshua Tree offers. A rare opportunity...
