Driving past thousands of Joshua Trees, you arrive at 56884 La Cadena Rd in Yucca Valley, CA. This home embodies everything you've heard about the legendary laid-back lifestyle of the high desert. Respecting original design elements that capture the essence of time and place, you will also appreciate the many thoughtful updates creating a worry-free home: new windows and sliders, new heat pump, new refrigerator, new dishwasher, new hot water heater... (See list of improvements in the Docs section.) The open floor plan - grounded by newly polished concrete floors - creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere for you and your guests to enjoy and engage by the new Lopi wood burning fireplace. The primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with large windows that frame desert views - you are, after all, a stone's throw from Joshua Tree National Park, and in fact hiking trails are just a short distance from your front door (see area map in Docs section). There is a fun and funky wood-paneled bedroom currently used as an office, and an additional guest bedroom. Details such as lighting fixtures and cooking appliances, original to the house, add classic charm and authenticity. And the home is surrounded by massive Joshua Trees, Century plants, and cacti of all varieties. Framed by new privacy fencing, the backyard features a stone paved patio, more local desert landscape, and several different usable areas. With its thoughtful design inside and out, this residence truly captures the casual appeal of high desert living. Note that most of the furnishings are available outside of escrow.
