Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover!

This hidden gem in the Village of Joshua Tree is brimming with potential! Step inside to discover an interior that boasts recent upgrades, offering a striking contrast to the exterior.

Featuring a newer central A/C and heating system that's typically found in larger homes, comfort is ensured year-round. The unique copper double sink is one of the standout highlights—not only does it provide natural antibacterial properties, but it also adds a stunning touch to the overall aesthetic.

With ample-sized bedrooms, two baths, and a spacious living area, this home strikes the perfect balance between comfort and privacy for everyone. The tile flooring throughout ensures durability and easy maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both relaxation and entertaining. One additional standout feature is the Dry Sauna in the larger bedroom, providing an easy, smoothing relaxation technique after a long day of rock climbing or trail hiking.

Location is key, and this property sits within walking distance to the vibrant Village of Joshua Tree, where you'll find charming shops, delicious restaurants, and an engaging weekend outdoor market. Plus, it's just a short drive to the breathtaking Joshua Tree National Park.
