Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1959, has undergone a significant and recent interior renovation, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, granite-look countertops, and newer black/stainless steel appliances. The bathroom is similarly updated with a modern double vanity and finishes. Wood-look laminate flooring is consistent throughout the living areas and bedrooms. A mini-split AC unit is visible, indicating a modern cooling system. While the visible interior components are in excellent, virtually new condition, the underlying structure is over 60 years old. The renovation appears to be extensive but not necessarily a complete overhaul of all major systems to 'virtually new' standards, which would typically qualify for an 'Excellent' rating for a property of this age. It fits the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years and being move-in ready with functional, well-maintained systems.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Panoramic Desert & Mountain Views: The property boasts 'breathtaking beauty' with 'panoramic' desert, hill, and mountain views, offering stunning sunsets and starry nights, a primary draw for this type of retreat.
Expansive Private Lot: With a substantial 5-acre lot (217,800 sqft), the property provides significant 'wide-open space' and ensures a high degree of privacy and tranquility.
Strategic Proximity to Attractions: Its location offers a 'perfect balance of seclusion and convenience,' being 'within easy reach of Palm Springs, Big Bear, and Joshua Tree National Park,' enhancing its appeal as a getaway or rental.
Inviting Open-Concept Interior: The 'open-concept design' creates a 'warm and inviting' atmosphere, maximizing the perceived space and flow within the home.
Recent Price Adjustment: A recent price reduction from $255,000 to $250,000 indicates a motivated seller and potentially increased value for prospective buyers.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1959, the property is over six decades old, and the description doesn't specify recent major system or aesthetic updates, potentially implying outdated features or deferred maintenance.
Limited Interior Space: At 814 sqft, the home offers relatively small living quarters (2 beds, 1 bath), which may not suit buyers requiring more spacious accommodations or those with larger families.
Remote Location Considerations: While a strength for privacy, its 'nestled away from the city' location in Wonder Valley could present challenges regarding access to immediate amenities, services, or longer commute times for some buyers.
