Condition Rating
Good
Built in 2004, this property is 20 years old and falls within the 'good' category's age range. The description highlights it as 'meticulously remodeled' and 'newer and luxurious,' which is supported by updated stainless steel kitchen appliances and central AC/heat. While the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities are clean and functional, their style, along with some light fixtures (e.g., kitchen fluorescent panel, bathroom bar light), suggest they are well-maintained originals or from an earlier update, rather than being 'virtually new' from a very recent, extensive renovation. The property is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning perfectly with the 'good' condition criteria where some components are updated, but it hasn't undergone a full, high-end recent renovation.
Pros & Cons

Pros

High Available Lot Utilization: The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 21000, living area = 1599.
Panoramic Views: The property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the valleys, glowing sunsets, and shimmering city lights from its hillside perch, enhancing its luxury appeal.
Prime Location & Neighborhood: Located in the desirable Upper Friendly Hills, known for high-priced homes and vistas, with close proximity to the trendy Joshua Tree Village, National Monument, and amenities.
Modern & Meticulously Remodeled: A newer (2004) and meticulously remodeled home featuring luxurious finishes, stainless steel kitchen appliances, and designer touches throughout.
Enhanced Energy Efficiency & Comfort: Equipped with central AC/heat and 50% thicker walls for superior insulation, providing optimal comfort and energy efficiency in the desert climate.
Exceptional Outdoor Living & Amenities: Features a covered patio with a bowl fire pit, barbeque, alfresco dining area, loungers, a 7-person spa, and an electric car charger, ideal for entertainment and relaxation.

Cons

Niche Market Appeal: The property's unique aesthetic, including 'theme inspired bedrooms of astrological constellations,' and its specific 'trendy JT Village' vibe may appeal to a niche buyer, potentially limiting broader market interest.
Absence of a Pool: Despite being in a desert climate and offering luxury amenities, the property does not include a swimming pool, which could be a significant drawback for some potential buyers.
Potential for Limited Usable Lot Space: While the lot is expansive at 21,000 sqft, its hillside location with 'towering boulder studded hills' suggests that a significant portion may not be easily usable or developable.
