From the Agent: "Taken down to the studs and rebuilt with intention, this 1950s home has been reimagined as a quiet and refined desert retreat shaped by natural materials and simple, lasting design. Soft plaster finishes, warm wood details, and custom millwork define the living areas. Extensive built-in storage throughout keeps the interiors clean and functional, while the kitchen continues this restrained approach with integrated cabinetry and beautiful finishes that highlight the material character of the space. The two-bedroom, one-bathroom layout includes a carefully conceived bedroom addition with built-in storage and a workspace that opens directly to the outdoors. Set on 2.5 quiet acres in Monument Manor, the home is just minutes from the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park. It’s a compelling opportunity as a primary residence, a high-design vacation home, or an incredible short-term rental offering."
The home was renovated by its owners, Alison and Jay Carroll, who also founded the olive oil and skincare brand Wonder Valley.
