Description
Beautiful home with 1500 square feet of well-planned space, granite countertops in kitchen and baths, and expansive territorial views. The open layout flows easily into the dining and living areas, where large windows frame the surrounding landscape and bring in natural light. Two bedrooms, 2 baths, with overhead fans in both bedrooms and above the dining area add comfort, along with central AC and heating, an up-duct evaporative cooler, and a newer heat pump. Dual pane windows provide energy efficiency throughout. Newer stove and dishwasher in kitchen. The primary suite includes natural wood closet doors and a remodeled bathroom with granite counters and a glass-enclosed shower. The guest bath has also been updated with granite countertops, continuing the cohesive finishes throughout the home. Outside, mature desert landscaping, established trees, and fencing create a private setting. The covered patio offers space to relax, entertain, or simply take in the expansive sky and distant views. A storage shed adds functionality, and the property is serviced by propane. Located just minutes from Joshua Tree National Park, the Joshua Tree Lake Campground, local hiking trails, and the vibrant art and music scene of downtown Joshua Tree, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy both quiet desert living and easy access to the area’s outdoor recreation and community events. Almost half acre lot in quiet neighborhood. A well-maintained view home in one of Joshua Tree’s sought-after neighborhoods.
