About This Home
Perched high above the valley with unobstructed views, this stylishly updated Joshua Tree retreat embodies the essence of desert living with its breathtaking sunsets, sunrises, and star-filled nights. Situated on a generous 0.54-acre lot, the property provides ample space to roam, RV parking, and a two-car garage, making it both a perfect getaway and a strong investment opportunity. Offering approximately 1,200 square feet of living space, the home features a grandfathered addition that includes a spacious third bedroom, sunroom, and utility room, combining functionality with charm. Inside, playful design blends seamlessly with modern convenience, highlighted by a brand-new kitchen with open shelving, bold accents, and thoughtful details. Designer upgrades such as Toto toilets, Gehre faucets, custom sconce lighting, and durable tile flooring elevate the interiors, while the remodeled bathrooms feel fresh and inviting. Expansive windows and French doors frame dramatic desert vistas, and from the primary bedroom and sitting room, panoramic valley views stretch endlessly. Outdoor living is equally appealing with an extended concrete patio, ideal for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or evenings under the stars. Additional features include a new central AC system, an EV charging outlet in the garage, and a freshly painted exterior (Fall 2023). Just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park and the village, this home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and potential perfect as a full-time residence, vacation escape, or income-generating property.
