About This Home
As of April 2025This gorgeous turn-key 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is nestled on a 1.25-acre corner lot in Old Town Joshua Tree! With a full-price offer this home can be SOLD WITH FURNITURE! As you approach this wonderful home, you'll love that it's sheltered in its own peaceful cove with the nearby Bartlett Mountains commanding your view. Take in the property's amazing front yard with its mature landscaping, inviting covered front patio, storage shed, paved parking pad that leads to the attached 2 car garage, and lots of extra space. Enter the home to encounter a spacious front room with a lovely bay window sitting area, dining space, rustic rockwork accent wall and a pellet stove for ambiance and supplemental heat. This room is open to both the living room and kitchen. The living room features more rockwork accents, lots of space to spread out in, and gorgeous tongue-and-groove wood ceilings that flow into the kitchen. The huge, open kitchen is a chef's dream with sleek black granite countertops, tons of wooden cabinets with pull-outs, and stainless steel appliances. The main bathroom is large and enjoys dual sinks and a fully tiled walk-in shower. You'll love that the laundry room is conveniently located right off the main bath. Moving on, in the hallway you'll find a sliding glass door, extremely large built-in storage as well as an extra flexible use space with backyard access that is currently being used as an office. The guest room is called the “jungle room” for a good reason – enter this awesome space to find an incredibly detailed jungle mural with many animals hidden in it for you to find! In addition to this cool detail, the guest room also has an en suite bathroom with a tub/shower combo. You'll find the primary bedroom to be generously sized with a large walk-in closet, its own private backyard access, and another lovely rockwork accent wall. The home is also equipped with a whole-home water filtration system! Last but not least is the fantastic backyard living space. Step outside onto the covered back patio, keeping in mind that everything is included. Here you will find an outdoor kitchen with BBQ, sitting area with outdoor TV, a gorgeous water feature with a pond and rock cascade, and more of the up-close-and-personal mountain views this incredible property enjoys. Despite the stunning natural location, you're just minutes from the amenities available in Joshua Tree village and 10 to the gates of the National Park
