Set on 1.5 acres adorned with iconic Joshua trees, this two-bedroom, two-bath home in Upper Friendly Hills offers a blend of thoughtful design and serene desert living. Sunlight pours through the windows, illuminating the space and offering breathtaking vistas at every turn. The masonry fireplace, complete with a wood stove insert, creates a striking centerpiece in the expansive living room. Recessed lighting adds charm to the living space.
The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring tile floors, unique granite countertops with a raw-edge finish, and finely crafted wooden cabinets. The included pantry ensures ample storage for your culinary needs. Both bedrooms frame exceptional views, with the primary bedroom showcasing a panorama of boulders that feels like an art piece brought to life. The en-suite bathroom includes a spacious walk-in shower and elegant finishes that mirror the kitchen’s aesthetic. The second bedroom, positioned near the equally well-appointed second bathroom, provides a sense of privacy and comfort.
Dual cooling options, with a swamp cooler and air conditioning, ensure comfort through the seasons. An attached and insulated two-car garage includes a bonus room—ideal for an artist’s studio or workshop—adding versatility to the property. Step outside to discover a backyard designed for unwinding and inspiration. A covered patio and freestanding pergola invite you to linger, taking in unobstructed views of Joshua Tree National Park’s rugged terrain and ever-changing skies.
Beyond the property, the vibrant Joshua Tree community awaits. Explore the nearby National Park, just minutes away, for hiking, rock climbing, and moments of quiet reflection amid awe-inspiring landscapes. Local art galleries, eclectic shops, and community events such as the Joshua Tree Music Festival and the weekly farmers market offer endless opportunities to connect and create. This home is more than a place to live—it’s an invitation to immerse yourself in the unique rhythm of desert life.
