Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1957, the property has been meticulously and recently remodeled to a high standard by a professional designer, as stated in the description and evident in the images. Both the main kitchen and the casita's kitchenette feature modern appliances, stylish cabinetry, contemporary countertops, and updated fixtures. The lighting throughout is modern, and the presence of mini-split units indicates updated and efficient cooling/heating systems. Flooring appears to be a mix of clean tile and polished concrete, all in excellent condition. The overall aesthetic is fresh, modern, and move-in ready with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 32000, living area = 1050.
Exceptional Location & Wilderness Access: Direct proximity to Joshua Tree National Park, offering immediate access to hiking and wilderness exploration from the doorstep, appealing to nature enthusiasts.
Versatile Dual-Unit Configuration: Features a main house and a separate casita (each 2 beds/1 bath), providing significant flexibility for extended family, roommates, or strong rental income potential.
High-End Designer Remodel: The property has been meticulously remodeled to a high standard by a professional designer, ensuring a tasteful, high-quality, and move-in ready living experience with a 'cabin cozy' ambiance.
Expansive Outdoor Living & Scenic Views: Boasts a large, fenced outdoor space with a firepit, offering stunning views of boulder mountain ridge-lines and native Joshua trees, ideal for desert enjoyment and entertaining.
Generous Acreage & Privacy: Situated on a substantial 32,000 sqft lot (nearly 0.75 acres), providing ample space, privacy, and a true rural desert living experience.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1050, other record living area = 720.
Limited Interior Square Footage: With only 1050 sqft for a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration (split into two units), the interior living space may feel compact for some buyers, especially larger families or those accustomed to more spacious homes.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1957, the property's original structure is older, which, despite extensive remodeling, could present potential long-term maintenance considerations related to foundational elements or unseen infrastructure.
Rural Location Considerations: While offering tranquility, the rural neighborhood implies greater distance to essential services, shopping, and amenities, which might not suit all lifestyle preferences or daily needs.
