About This Home
As of August 2024The Atomic Desert Dream House: Your retro-futuristic, authentic mid-century modern getaway that bridges the past and present. Very few mid-century properties exist in Joshua Tree, and this may be the only example preserved in mint, near original condition — complete with veneer wood cabinetry in the kitchen, period antiques, and vintage tile work in the bathroom. Discover this spacious, 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom 1,249-square-foot dwelling with upgraded appliances and central air-conditioning/heating. The third bedroom/bonus room is an extra-large flex space. A new roof was installed after present owner purchased property, as well as terrazzo-style tile floors, and double-pane windows throughout. Viewed from the interior, a joshua tree stands in the front yard framed by the large front window. The home is positioned on a corner lot with an empty lot across the street and behind the house for added privacy. With meticulous desert landscaping, several mature olive trees add yet another layer of seclusion. A high-quality block retaining wall demarcates the backyard. Two sheds provide ample space for storage, in addition to the enclosed laundry room, which could be converted into a large work-from-home space. The property also features a covered carport for efficient, Jetson-style parking. Sold turnkey/fully-furnished! All decor and furnishings are inspired by the American “Atomic Age,” which was the 1960s visualization of space-age style. Incredible location — walking distance from downtown Joshua Tree, and a short drive to Joshua Tree National Park. Cozy southside neighborhood. Presently used as a part-time residence and part-time Airbnb to be delivered seamlessly to buyer looking for same. For mid-century aficionados, look no further for perhaps the most affordable example in SoCal.
