Tucked into the unique landscape of Morongo Valley, this inviting 1957 home offers a refreshing desert lifestyle surrounded by mature trees and a peaceful natural setting. Set beneath the shade of beautiful Chinese elm and scrub oak trees, this charming home offers 1,246 square feet with two bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms, living room with views throughout, dining room, and bonus den currently used as 3rd bedroom/TV room. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a stone fireplace preserve its authentic midcentury character, while expansive windows frame beautiful views from every living space, bringing the surrounding landscape indoors. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully improved, this property has seen extensive updates over the years. Recent improvements include whole-house exterior, fresh interior paint in the living areas, bedroom and bath, a new roof (2021), new kitchen countertops and refrigerator, updated bathroom countertops, a recently inspected and pumped septic system, and an insulated garage finished with drywall that could serve as a studio, workshop, or flex space. If you've been searching for a home with character, privacy, mountain views from nearly every room, and the kind of peaceful desert setting that's increasingly hard to find, this Morongo Valley gem is well worth a look.
