About This Home
Location, location, location. This remodeled 3-bedroom, 3-bath home is perfectly positioned at the top of the hill between the Joshua Tree National Park entrance and downtown Joshua Tree, placing you just minutes from the area’s popular restaurants, shops, and local attractions. As you arrive, you’ll appreciate the beautiful mountain backdrop along with the functionality of a fenced front yard section and a fully fenced backyard, offering both convenience and privacy. Step inside and you’ll immediately notice the large living room with vaulted ceilings, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and expansive windows that capture views toward Joshua Tree National Park. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace with striking floor-to-ceiling tile, creating a stylish focal point and adding a touch of luxury to the space. The remodeled kitchen features attractive countertops, abundant storage, and plenty of counter space, and flows seamlessly into the large dining area, which also enjoys those beautiful desert views. Nearby you’ll find a convenient half bath along with an indoor laundry room. Moving through the rest of the home, the primary bedroom is generously sized and includes a walk-in closet and a remodeled ensuite bathroom. The two additional bedrooms are both well-sized, and the guest bathroom is centrally located and features a shower-tub combo. Additional features include a fully finished two-car garage for parking, storage, or additional workspace. With the major updates already completed, this home is move-in ready and offers incredible flexibility. Its prime location makes it an excellent candidate for a short-term rental, while also serving perfectly as a primary residence or desert getaway. Homes in locations like this rarely come available—schedule your showing and see what makes this Joshua Tree property so special.
