Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1959, the property's interior is explicitly described as being in 'rustic and original condition,' which is evident in the dated kitchen (not pictured but implied), the very old bathroom with a wooden toilet seat and mixed wall finishes, shaggy carpets, and dated drop ceilings. While the exterior benefits from a new roof and paint, the interior requires substantial rehabilitation, including a full kitchen and bathroom renovation, flooring replacement, and likely significant upgrades to core systems like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC to meet modern standards and comfort.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Views: Perched atop the Sunfair bluff, the property offers extensive 'many mile views' including San Jacinto and San Gorgonio peaks, desert, hills, and valley, enhancing its appeal and value.
Expansive Lot Size: Situated on a fenced 2.5-acre lot (108,900 sqft), providing significant space, privacy, and potential for expansion or outdoor amenities.
Recent Exterior Upgrades: The property benefits from a NEW ROOF and NEW EXTERIOR PAINT, addressing common maintenance concerns for an older home.
Unique Desert Character: Its 'rustic and original condition' offers a distinct Joshua Tree character, appealing to buyers seeking an authentic, non-standard desert home.
Proximity to Attractions: Conveniently located 15 minutes from downtown Joshua Tree and close to the west entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, ideal for residents and potential short-term rentals.
Cons
Original Interior Condition: The description highlights 'rustic and original condition,' implying that interior finishes, fixtures, and potentially some systems may be dated and require significant renovation to meet modern standards.
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for a two-bedroom home, this could be a functional limitation for multiple occupants, families, or guests.
Age of Core Systems: Built in 1959, despite recent exterior updates, the underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, and potentially lack of modern HVAC) is likely original or aged, which could lead to higher maintenance costs or future replacement needs.
