Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1980, this duplex is 44 years old. While the exterior has fresh paint and some interior flooring appears updated (e.g., laminate in living room and bathroom), the bathroom fixtures, vanity, and lighting are significantly dated. No kitchen images are provided, but based on the property's age and the bathroom's condition, it's highly likely the kitchen also features older cabinets and appliances. The listing mentions natural gas heat and stoves but no air conditioning, which is a major functional drawback in Joshua Tree's climate. The property is functional and maintained but shows clear signs of age and requires substantial cosmetic updates, especially in the kitchen and bathrooms, to meet current buyer expectations.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex, offering versatile income potential through renting both units, living in one and renting the other, or utilizing one as an in-law unit.
Prime Village Location: Situated just a couple of blocks from downtown Joshua Tree, providing convenient access to local amenities, shops, and attractions.
Expansion Potential: A designated space on the south end of the building allows for the addition of another structure or expansion, enhancing future value and utility.
Scenic Mountain Views: The property boasts nice views of the surrounding mountains, adding aesthetic appeal and desirability.
Recent Exterior Updates: Both units have recently received new exterior paint, improving curb appeal and reducing immediate maintenance costs for the buyer.
Cons
Lack of Cooling System: The description only mentions natural gas heat and stoves, with no indication of an air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback in Joshua Tree's hot climate.
Age of Property & Vague Improvements: Built in 1980, the property is over 40 years old, and while 'similar improvements' are mentioned, specific details on major system updates (e.g., plumbing, electrical) are absent, suggesting potential future renovation needs.
Smaller Unit Size: Each 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit is approximately 810 sqft, which may be considered small for some prospective tenants or owner-occupants.
