About This Home

As of March 2025

PRIVACY & STUNNING VIEWS at a Reasonable Price - less than $500k in Upper Friendly Hills, with views of the boulder mountaintops in nearby Joshua Tree National Park! No immediate neighbors to the east or west and ample space for privacy out back as well. Hike from home into the wilderness. Relax on the back porch with a morning coffee or evening beverage and wake up or end your day to some of the most sublime views imaginable. Stargaze under the dark skies in the back yard for infinite views of the galaxies above. Adobe style home with high-quality plantation shutters. Tile flooring. Large spacious kitchen/dining area. Separate living room. 3-bedroom, 2-bath home spread over 1,700 square feet of interior living space, not including covered porch out back. 2-car garage for parking, storage or to convert into additional living space or to use as a work-from-home office or studio. Close to downtown, dining and Farmers Market, yet rural setting. In addition to closeup views of the National Park, one can also gaze down at the town below and out at the ancient Sunfair dry lakebed in the distance. Needs some updating and TLC, but priced accordingly. Finally, phenomenal setting and views at a realistic price!
