Property is move-in ready.
This property has undergone extensive recent interior renovations, including new paint, electrical, custom stained concrete floors, and a newly remodeled main bathroom shower with modern tiling. While these updates provide a fresh, move-in ready feel, the kitchen features older wood cabinets and tiled countertops, and the main bathroom vanity also retains older tiled counters. A significant drawback is the lack of a mentioned central cooling system, which is crucial in the local climate. These factors prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating, but the substantial recent updates elevate it beyond 'Fair'.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 158721, living area = 1692.
The property features an outdoor stairway leading to a rooftop deck, offering unobstructed panoramic views during the day, twinkling city lights of the Marine base at night, and exceptional stargazing opportunities.
Located on a county parcel, the property offers excellent income opportunities for both long-term and short-term rentals with no cap limitations. The oversized 2-car garage includes a bathroom and is large enough to be converted into a full 2-bedroom apartment with kitchen and living space.
The property's construction evolved from a 1954 cabin by an owner/builder over many years, potentially raising questions regarding permits, consistency of construction, and adherence to modern building codes, which could impact future appraisals or financing.
The description does not specify the presence of a central cooling system, which could be a significant drawback and require substantial investment for installation given the hot climate of 29 Palms.
While offering privacy and views, the 'very private and rural setting' implies a longer distance to immediate amenities and services, which may not appeal to all buyers seeking urban conveniences or shorter commute times.
This charming Mediterranean style home offering value, space and classic style with warmth that feels like home. The 1692 sq ft boasts a real local rock fireplace in the living room as well as a smaller red real brick FP in the dining room. The home looks fresh and new when you first walk in with its entire interior receiving new smooth wall texture and paint, all new outlets, switches GFIs, recessed lighting and fixtures. The floors throughout the house are custom stained and sealed concrete. The one bathroom inside the home is very large and newly remolded with tiled walk-in shower and the new tiled tub surround. When guests arrive you also have the oversized 2 car garage with a bathroom with very large shower and small bedroom/laundry with a door to the back yard. The garage is large enough to set up a full 2 bedroom apartment complete with kitchen and living space with more nooks for a fridge, stove, storage as well as two long counter’s for work space and still has a carport for your cars. There is an outdoor stairway leading to a roof top deck with unobstructed views as far as you can see during the day and twinkly lights of the Marine base at night, but the real show stopper is the stary nights. Fully fenced back yard also includes a large spa, ocotillo, palm and fruit trees, and still enough room to add a swimming pool and outdoor bath with shower and more. This property offers great income opportunities for long term and no cap limitations on short term rentals since it is a county parcel. it also is on city water and great exposure for solar panels. This home does not know its age however, because though started build in 1954 it started out as a cabin in the space where the dining room is. It was a labor of love that evolved and grew over years by the owner/builder and improved until the house complete, 1989 garage was then built. There is way too much to list so you just need to come see it for yourself. Very private and rural setting, yet only 10 minutes to town or base. Closing items and repairs including septic certification are complete, for a quick close for next buyer. Seller is a licensed real estate agent.
