North Edwards, CA 93523
Beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home on over half an acre with major improvements throughout. A standout upgrade is the complete roof replacement completed in 2025, including a full tear-off to the deck, new underlayment, flashing, vents, and upgraded Owens Corning shingles that exceed California energy-efficiency standards. Both the manufacturer and labor warranties transfer to the buyer, offering valuable peace of mind. Inside, the home features smooth ceilings (popcorn removed), bright white interior paint to enhance natural light and help keep the home cooler in summer, recessed lighting throughout, and smart switches compatible with Google, Alexa, and Kasa. A dividing wall was removed and a large kitchen island added, creating an open-concept flow between the kitchen and living room. Laminate flooring replaces carpet in the main living areas and extra bedroom. LG smart front-loading gas washer and dryer are included. Exterior features include reflective paint, updated evaporative cooler pads, a fully fenced lot, room for RV or boat parking, and two storage sheds. Mature shade trees and open desert views create a quiet setting. The area is popular for off-road recreation and hosts the annual Wasteland Weekend nearby. A gazebo offers stunning sunset views, and minimal light pollution allows for exceptional stargazing. Convenient to Edwards Air Force Base and near the developing CoreCivic project in California City. ~Schedule a Showing today!~

Property is move-in ready.
This property, built in 1984, has undergone extensive and recent renovations that significantly enhance its condition and appeal. Key upgrades include a complete roof replacement in 2025 with transferable warranties, smooth ceilings, fresh paint, recessed lighting, smart home switches, and new laminate flooring in main areas. The kitchen has been modernized with an open-concept design and a large island. While these are substantial improvements making the home move-in ready, the absence of explicit details regarding full kitchen appliance updates (beyond washer/dryer) and bathroom renovations, coupled with the reliance on evaporative cooling rather than central AC, prevents it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating. The property fits the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, with well-maintained systems and no immediate renovation needs, despite some components potentially not being fully new.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 22651, living area = 1657.
The home boasts significant recent upgrades, including a complete roof replacement (2025 with transferable warranties), smooth ceilings, fresh paint, recessed lighting, smart home features, and new laminate flooring, reducing immediate buyer expenses and enhancing modern appeal.
A dividing wall was removed and a large kitchen island added, creating a highly desirable open-concept flow between the kitchen and living room, ideal for entertaining and contemporary living.
The property relies solely on an evaporative cooler, which may not provide sufficient comfort or consistent cooling during the extreme heat of a desert climate for all buyers, especially those accustomed to central air conditioning.
While offering unique benefits, the remote desert location and association with niche activities (e.g., Wasteland Weekend) might limit its appeal to a broader range of buyers, potentially affecting market liquidity and future appreciation for those not seeking this specific lifestyle.
As a property in North Edwards, a relatively small and remote community, it likely offers fewer immediate amenities such as diverse shopping, dining, and entertainment options compared to more urban or suburban areas, which could be a drawback for some residents.
