More Insights
Built in 1960 (65 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1960, this property has undergone an extensive and very recent renovation, bringing it to excellent condition. The kitchen features brand new black shaker-style cabinets, pristine white quartz countertops, a stylish mosaic backsplash, and new stainless steel appliances (range and microwave). The entire interior boasts new luxury vinyl plank flooring, fresh paint, new windows, and modern recessed lighting throughout. A central air/heat system has also been installed. While the bathroom isn't fully pictured, the description notes it's 'large' and 'refreshed,' and given the comprehensive updates elsewhere, it's reasonable to assume it meets similar modern standards. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and appears virtually new inside, aligning with the 'excellent' criteria for a recently and extensively renovated home.

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 = 9450, living area = 1160.
Extensive Remodel & Modern Upgrades: The property has undergone a significant remodel, featuring a refreshed kitchen with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, new windows, luxury vinyl flooring, recessed lighting, and central air/heat, offering a move-in ready condition.
Significant ADU Potential: An oversized 875 sq ft detached garage presents a substantial opportunity for conversion into a 2-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which could significantly enhance property value and generate additional rental income.
Strong Short-Term Rental Appeal: Explicitly marketed as a 'great short term rental,' its prime location near Joshua Tree National Park and local attractions makes it highly desirable for vacationers, tapping into a lucrative market.
Attractive Financing Option: The availability of a USDA zero-down loan makes this property highly accessible to a broader range of eligible buyers, potentially facilitating a quicker sale.
Desirable Joshua Tree Location: Situated in the Sunfair area, the home offers convenient access to recreational areas, downtown Joshua Tree, the National Park, and is a short drive to shopping in Yucca Valley and nightlife in Palm Springs.
Cons
Older Core Structure: Despite recent remodels, the home was built in 1960, which may raise concerns about the condition of original, un-updated infrastructure such as plumbing, electrical systems, or the roof.
Single Bathroom: The property features only one bathroom for a two-bedroom home, which could be a practical limitation for families or multiple occupants, especially if the ADU potential is realized.
Potential for High Utility Costs: Located in a desert climate, maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures year-round, even with central air/heat, may result in higher utility expenses compared to properties in more temperate regions.
