Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1957, the property shows signs of being aged but maintained. The kitchens in both the main and guest houses feature dated cabinets and basic appliances, suggesting renovations that are now 15-30+ years old. Light fixtures and ceiling fans are also outdated. While the tile and carpet flooring appear clean, the overall aesthetic, including wood paneling in one room, is not contemporary. A significant factor is the lack of central air conditioning, relying on wall heaters and wood stoves, which are not modern climate control solutions for a desert environment. The property is functional and livable but requires minor to moderate updates to meet current quality and style standards.

Income & Versatility Potential: A fully equipped guest house with a large bedroom, full kitchen, living room, bathroom, and four separate entrances offers excellent potential for rental income, an in-law suite, or extended family living.
Expansive Lot & Privacy: The generous 2.27-acre fenced property provides significant privacy, ample space for outdoor activities, and a true desert escape feel.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1957, the main home may require updates to core systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, insulation) to meet modern efficiency standards or reduce potential long-term maintenance costs, which are not specified as having been addressed.
Lack of Central Cooling System: While fireplaces and wood-burning stoves are mentioned for heating, the description does not specify a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant comfort concern in the desert climate of Joshua Tree.
Price Reduction History: The property has undergone a notable price reduction from its original list price of $519,000 to $465,000, which might suggest initial overpricing or a longer market presence, potentially raising questions for prospective buyers.
