As of May 2021Rarely does a home like this come on the market. Less than a mile from the park, 2.5 acres in the most sought after area of Joshua Tree, the views from this home in every direction are absolutely stunning. Enjoy Joshua Trees, Saguaro Cacti and the nearby surrounding rocky hills while sitting in a 4 person top of the line Jacuzzi spa. This artsy home was tastefully upgraded with a big open floor plan, lighted kitchen cabinets, stainless steel fridge, tasteful 18" tile flooring in kitchen and dining area. Big stone fire place with cast iron insert. Large Master Bedroom with high ceilings and sky light opens into large sun room with exercise equipment and walk out French doors to the 22' by 9' enclosed patio and fenced in backyard. Master Bath has two sky lights and walk in closet area. Third bedroom was made into a Lounge/Theater Room. Huge two car garage with half bath, work shop/art studio, walk through 30' by 10' covered patio and side RV parking with 220 hook-up. Solar panels keep your energy costs way down, transferable lease. We could go on and on. It’s really a must see.
