Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1965, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, transforming it into a stylish modern home. The kitchen features newer cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and modern fixtures, all in excellent condition. The single bathroom has also been updated with a modern vanity and tile flooring. Throughout the home, there's upgraded tile flooring in main areas and carpet in bedrooms, newer windows, and fresh paint. While the property is move-in ready and aesthetically pleasing, the presence of a window AC unit in one bedroom suggests a lack of central air conditioning, which prevents it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating. However, the overall quality of the renovations and modern updates firmly place it in the 'Good' category.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Short-Term Rental (STR) Potential: The property comes with a previously approved and issued STR permit, making it an excellent income-producing asset in the popular Joshua Tree market.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: Recently transformed into a stylish modern boho retreat, featuring an updated kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, a modern bathroom, newer windows, fresh paint, and upgraded flooring throughout, making it move-in ready.
Prime Joshua Tree Location: Strategically located just minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance and close to local dining, entertainment, and shopping, enhancing its appeal for residents and tourists alike.
Energy Cost Savings: Equipped with transferable solar panels, offering significant savings on energy costs year-round, a valuable feature in the desert climate.
Enhanced Outdoor Living: Features a huge, fully fenced backyard with a covered aluminum patio and fire pit, ideal for stargazing, entertaining, and enjoying the desert lifestyle with added privacy.

Cons

Non-Conforming Bedroom/Garage Conversion: The third bedroom is a garage conversion not reflected in tax records, which could raise questions regarding permitting, appraisal value, and the absence of dedicated covered parking.
Limited Bathroom Count: With three bedrooms, the presence of only one bathroom may be a functional limitation for families or multiple short-term rental guests, potentially impacting convenience and appeal.
Age of Core Infrastructure: Despite extensive upgrades, the property's original 1965 construction may still harbor older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that were not explicitly mentioned as being fully replaced or updated.
