MID-CENTURY DESERT RETREAT – ACTIVE SHORT-TERM RENTAL: Built in 1964, this brick-and-stone home pairs mid-century details with outdoor spaces made for enjoying the desert. Currently operating as a short-term rental, the property sits on an approximately 16,000 sq ft lot with mountain views, mature shade trees, sculptural cacti, and empty lots on both sides and behind. Its east- and west-facing orientation brings beautiful morning light and colorful sunsets.
Inside, a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace is the centerpiece of the living room, where original brickwork and rock accents give the home its distinctive character. A stone planter runs nearly the full length of the dining area, and the bathroom retains its beautifully restored original tile. The kitchen has generous counter space and a large window above the double sink looking toward the park.
The attached garage has been refreshed with painted walls and epoxy flooring, offering space for a studio, gym, workshop, or hobbies. Out back, a covered flagstone patio, jacuzzi, cowboy pool built into a wood deck, and oversized stone fire pit provide plenty of places to gather or unwind. A greenhouse with automatic irrigation adds room to grow herbs and vegetables, while the gated yard and established landscaping make the outdoor spaces feel private and inviting.
Restaurants, shops, and markets are nearby, and the Eastern Joshua Tree National Park entrance is about a 10-minute drive away. With original details, open views, and an active short-term rental already in place, this home offers a welcoming base for exploring the desert or settling in yourself.
