Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1945, this property is well-maintained as a unique artistic residence but remains dated by standard real estate metrics. The kitchen features older tile countertops and cabinetry, and while the home is functional and move-in ready for a specific buyer, the age of the structure and the style of the primary systems suggest it is over 20 years since a standard modern renovation.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Unique Artistic Design
This one-of-a-kind cottage features handcrafted sculptural details, organic forms, and custom artistic finishes that provide a rare and distinctive character not found in standard desert homes.
- Enchanting Outdoor Oasis
The private courtyard is anchored by a dramatic rock waterfall and flagstone pathways, creating a serene and creative environment that maximizes the desert living experience.
- Creative Studio Potential
A separate laundry and utility area with existing utilities offers significant potential for conversion into an artist studio, workshop, or bonus workspace, adding versatile value to the property.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Living Space
At only 824 square feet with a single bedroom and bathroom, the property's compact footprint may restrict its appeal to a narrower demographic of buyers.
- Highway Proximity
Located directly on 29 Palms Highway, the property is subject to potential traffic noise, which may detract from the quiet, secluded atmosphere often sought in Morongo Valley.
