***BEAUTIFULLY REMODELED MID-CENTURY GEM*** This 1950-built mid-century bungalow has been beautifully restored and remodeled with custom designer finishes and amenities. Nestled up against a hillside, the glass wall of the great room features custom La Cantina bifold doors that open the whole house up to a serene mature cactus… Read More garden with epic long views of layered mountains. Inside is a wood-burning stove that provides both heat and ambience. A new mini split unit provides additional heat and air conditioning for year-round comfort. The designer kitchen features custom cherry wood cabinetry by local designer Fire on the Mesa, a hidden Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawer, a filtered water system, and a gas Viking range. The polished concrete floors stretch throughout the kitchen and great room areas. The vaulted wooden beamed ceiling covers the entire space, and add to the open and relaxing feeling of the naturally lit interior. The bedroom also features view windows and provides a quiet comfortable space for sleeping. The bathroom includes a tiled shower and beautiful custom cabinetry as well as a concrete sink crafted by a local designer. There is a bonus room along the backside of the home provides extra living space, and could be used for a second bedroom or office, as well as new laundry facilities that are easy to access but out of view. The detached garage has been upgraded, insulated, and finished inside for use as a studio, recreation space, or as a two-car garage. This dreamy hideaway is well located on a quiet paved road and has easy access to local amenities, and is a stone’s throw away from Big Morongo Canyon Preserve, offering a front row seat to 200+ species of migrating birds, as well as resident rabbits, squirrels and butterflies. The property includes an elevated patio and historic root-cellar with a stone masonry-edged terrace. An extra concrete slab perched high on the hill would be a great spot for a future guest casita. This location is 20-30 minutes from either Joshua Tree or Palm Springs. This home is offered fully furnished with high-end and custom pieces, including a Natuzzi leather sofa, a Tempur-Pedic queen size mattress and bedframe, and a Hot Springs luxury spa. The entertainment center features a projection screen for viewing movies and other media. The high-speed Wi-Fi is reliable for both streaming and working from home type applications. The home is an extremely successful short-term rental with 5-star reviews. Read Less
