About This Home

As of February 2025

This gorgeous, fully remodeled 3 bedroom, 2 bath + office home is set on nearly 1/2 acre in the highly sought after Upper Friendly Hills area of Joshua Tree! As you approach from paved Prescott Trail, you'll love that this home enjoys up close and personal views of the boulder-strewn mountains the area is famous for, and enjoys a great sense of privacy. You'll feel drawn in right away by the house's welcoming facade, concrete driveway leading to the 2 car fully finished garage, and large front patio area. Imagine taking in these amazing views from your front porch every day! A long covered entryway leads you to enter the home, which you will find has been well appointed with the latest, including newer flooring, fresh paint, and newer windows throughout. The large open-concept main living space enjoys huge picture windows to bring the amazing views inside and an impressive corner wood burning fireplace for ambiance and supplemental heat. The open dining space features French doors that access the backyard, while the kitchen has been gorgeously updated with stainless steel appliances, pot filling spout above the stove, a recessed cubby for the refrigerator, lots of clean cabinetry and plenty of counter space. Just off the main area you'll notice a custom barn door that leads into a large office. Take in the view from this room – imagine finding inspiration here as you work! Moving on, the guest bath features a pedestal sink and walk-in shower. You'll find each of the two guest bedrooms to be nicely sized with plenty of storage space and big windows, while the primary bedroom is spacious and has an attached bath with dual sinks, walk-in shower, backyard access and a jetted tub with a picture window that overlooks amazing high (and private) views. As if this weren't enough, the property boasts an incredible backyard living space that is perched high up and for far-ranging views. There is an extensive paved back patio area, an RV driveway, a shed that has power, water and even its own mini-split for climate control, and a large concrete pad with 24” footings suitable to build a structure on, all enclosed by stylish modern privacy fencing. Despite the amazing location, you're still just minutes from all the amenities of both Joshua Tree and Yucca Valley, and 10 to the gates of the National Park! Book a showing now before you lose out on this hi-desert gem!
