Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1984, the listing explicitly states the home has been 'thoughtfully updated' with a 'modern kitchen' and 'updated finishes throughout.' This indicates a significant renovation, likely within the last 5-15 years, making it move-in ready. The exterior image shows a freshly painted home with a well-maintained appearance, supporting the claim of recent updates. While not brand new, the described updates elevate its condition beyond 'Fair'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated just minutes from the Joshua Tree National Park entrance, offering significant appeal for nature enthusiasts and potential for vacation rentals.
Modernized Interior: The home features a thoughtfully updated interior with a modern kitchen and contemporary finishes throughout, reducing immediate renovation needs for a new owner.
Outdoor Entertainment: A fully fenced yard with a covered patio and an above-ground pool provides excellent amenities for relaxation and entertaining.
Scenic Views: The property offers desirable Desert and Mountain views, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and tranquil atmosphere.
Versatile Garage: An attached garage provides valuable extra storage space or potential for a creative studio or workshop.
Cons
Compact Living Space: With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 912 sqft, the property offers compact living quarters, which may not be suitable for larger households or those requiring more expansive space.
Potential Overpricing: The list price of $400,000 is approximately 3% above the estimated market value of $386,839.67, suggesting it may be slightly overvalued according to current estimations.
Older Construction: Built in 1984, the property's core structure and systems are older, which could imply future maintenance considerations despite recent cosmetic updates.
