About this home

Amazing location and such a huge lot! Situated on a massive 2.7 acres with over 1800 SQ foot house AND a 700 SQ foot garage/living space and additional enclosed back patio with ample windows and sliders that create a great extra large room for playing and enjoying the vast view! This amazing home is built slightly elevated on a slight incline so you have views all day long and are right near the entrance to the base of the Joshua Tree National Park entrance and less than a mile from the casino and 29 palms restaurants, bars and shops! It s a true gem in the desert! Not a fixer but it can use your special touch to make it yours! Open floor concept with living room and a dining room and kitchen all connected. There is a den off the main living space that could be closed off for more privacy or just used as is. So much potential to remodel this to your particular liking. Master bedroom is large and can fit a King bed as well as additional seating. Large oversized, updated walk-in shower for the master bedroom. Two additional rooms and a full bath for them to share. One bedroom is attached to the garage as a pass through and can also be closed or kept as is. New Swamp cooler. Older AC unit still works, but aged. Great breeze when doors are open. The garage could fit three cars! Used as a large living room for the current owners which add an additional 700 sq feet to the home when used this way. Truly an amazing home, that is move-in ready with some painting and minor updating if preferred. Come and see what you could do to make this your next home or investment property! (There is an additional structure that has power to it, that has been utilized as an artist studio. Buyers to do their own due diligence on all permitting and inspections independently.)

Built in 1985, this property is functional and appears maintained, but many elements are significantly dated. The kitchen features older-style wood cabinets, basic countertops, and outdated lighting, requiring a full renovation to meet current standards. While the master bathroom boasts an updated walk-in shower, the overall aesthetic, including the specific and bold paint colors throughout, suggests a need for cosmetic updates. The description also notes an 'older AC unit' despite a new swamp cooler. The tile flooring is practical but not modern. The property is move-in ready but requires minor to moderate updates to systems and aesthetics to enhance its appeal and bring it up to contemporary standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Lot Size: The property boasts a massive 2.7-acre lot, providing significant space, privacy, and potential for expansion or outdoor amenities.
Prime Location: Strategically located near the entrance of Joshua Tree National Park, a casino, and local restaurants, bars, and shops, offering convenience and recreational access.
Expansive Views: Situated on a slight incline, the home offers extensive views of the desert, city lights, and 'peek-a-boo' vistas from various points, including an enclosed patio.
Versatile Additional Spaces: Includes a 700 sq ft garage/living space, an enclosed back patio, and an additional powered structure currently used as an artist studio, adding significant functional square footage and flexibility.
Customization Potential: Described as 'not a fixer' and 'move-in ready,' the property offers an open floor concept and potential for buyers to personalize and update to their specific liking.

Cons

Aging HVAC System: While a new swamp cooler is mentioned, the main AC unit is noted as 'older' and 'aged,' indicating it may require future replacement or significant maintenance.
Unverified Permitting for Outbuilding: The additional artist studio, despite having power, requires buyers to conduct independent due diligence on permitting, suggesting potential compliance issues or future investment for legalization.
Cosmetic Updates Required: The description states the property 'can use your special touch' and 'some painting and minor updating if preferred,' implying immediate cosmetic investment may be desired by new owners.
