Description
Authentic 1953 midcentury cabin offering a serene desert retreat just minutes from downtown Joshua Tree. Thoughtfully preserved with original charm, the home is filled with warm light and a cozy, intentional ambiance that feels both timeless and calming. Enjoy morning coffee on the shaded front porch and unwind in the private, fully fenced backyard—ideal for quiet evenings under the desert sky. The property offers a flexible layout, including a detached garage with potential for creative use or future expansion (buyer to verify). Currently used as a part-time short-term rental, providing optional income offset when not in residence. Equally suited for full-time living, a weekend escape, or a low-maintenance second home. Walking distance to downtown shops and dining, and close to iconic hiking destinations including Coyote Hole and nearby boulder landscapes. A rare opportunity to own a peaceful, design-forward desert hideaway in one of Joshua Tree’s most desirable pockets.
