Description

We are excited to present this very hip property! Welcome to 2953 Border Ave. Here is the opportunity to own a very special, well-designed, 3bed/ 2.5 bath private retreat fenced in on 4 acres in an ideal location (off a much desired car-friendly paved road). Affordable serenity found for those seeking a simpler way of living, less hassles and more fun! This turn-key/ move-in (ready) home is fully upgraded enabling you to simply unpack and start living. The primary bedroom windows offer views from bed! This bedroom and en-suite has the perfect amount of privacy away from the other two bedrooms which are opposite side of the house. All bedrooms have their own outdoor patio access with a sliding door. This home is priced to sell! Home has a new roof, and all new efficient systems (new water heater, air-conditioning & heating, plumbing & fixtures). Local designer has successfully implemented her Joshua Tree eclectic style & vibe into this must-see property. “Wander out yonder” settle in, and start enjoying the southern views from this exquisite parcel which is large enough to easily host guests, parties, events, and so forth under the infamous starry skies. It looks as if Barbie left her camper there. Super close to the vibrant Joshua Tree downtown community, with additional perks include a (highly-sought after) 2-car garage, and easy access to Wifi services. Buyer also has the option to keep the 40ft container for storage for gear, toys, or to create more space - maybe an art or sound studio? Don't miss your chance, as these altered “manu-modernized-modularified” gems are the new way to encapsulate upscale amenities & upgrades of designer homes into a very modestly priced home…
