About This Home

As of September 2022

Here's your chance to own a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home in the highly desirable Upper Friendly Hills area of Joshua Tree! Set on a huge lot and including the adjacent parcel for nearly 1 acre of total land, this diamond in the rough just needs a little TLC to transform it into the hi-desert hideaway of your dreams. You'll be blown away by the epic views as you approach the property, including the rugged boulder-strewn mountains of Joshua Tree National Park that seem almost close enough to touch. You'll appreciate the curb appeal right away, with the lovely mature landscaping (including many resident Joshua trees!), covered front porch, attached 2 car garage and concrete parking pad. Enter the home to find yourself in a huge main living area with an impressive fireplace with rustic rock work hearth! Let your imagination run wild with the amazing possibilities this home holds for an update. You'll love the amount of space in the kitchen as well as the large windows that let in plenty of light and views. How would you remodel this space to fit your personal style? The possibilities are endless! The master bedroom is spacious, while the master bath has dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and separate tub. The second bedroom is also very nicely sized, while the second bath has all the necessities with a tub/shower combo. Moving on to the outdoor living space, this property boasts the kinds of mind-blowing views most people only dream of obtaining in this area. You'll also find a massive workshop, cool rock work walls, and tons of space to create the outdoor oasis of your dreams. This home is just ready and waiting for the right person with creative vision to breathe new life into it. There are fewer and fewer homes in the area that haven't been updated already, and ones in incredible locations like this are almost unheard of. With a few modern finishes, this could easily become your personal headquarters for desert relaxation, so don't hesitate – book a showing now!
