The Atomic Desert Dream House: Your retro-futuristic, authentic mid-century modern getaway that bridges the past and present. Very few mid-century properties exist in Joshua Tree, and this may be the only example preserved in mint, near original condition — complete with veneer wood cabinetry in the kitchen, period antiques, and vintage tile work in the bathroom. Discover this spacious, 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom 1,249-square-foot dwelling with upgraded appliances and central air-conditioning/heating. The third bedroom/bonus room is an extra-large flex space. A new roof was installed after present owner purchased property, as well as terrazzo-style tile floors, and double-pane windows throughout. Viewed from the interior, a joshua tree stands in the front yard framed by the large front window. The home is positioned on a corner lot with an empty lot across the street and behind the house for added privacy. With meticulous desert landscaping, several mature olive trees add yet another layer of seclusion. A high-quality block retaining wall demarcates the backyard. Two sheds provide ample space for storage, in addition to the enclosed laundry room, which could be converted into a large work-from-home space. The property also features a covered carport for efficient, Jetson-style parking. Sold turnkey/fully-furnished! All decor and furnishings are inspired by the American “Atomic Age,” which was the 1960s visualization of space-age style. Incredible location — walking distance from downtown Joshua Tree, and a short drive to Joshua Tree National Park. Cozy southside neighborhood. Presently used as a part-time residence and part-time Airbnb to be delivered seamlessly to buyer looking for same. For mid-century aficionados, look no further for perhaps the most affordable example in SoCal.

No weekly rateNo published rate within 7 days of this date.ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
No earlier records were returned by our current sources. This does not mean the home has never sold.
