About this home

***THUNDER ROAD*** Built in 1958 by Swedish emigre Sigrid Larsen, this mid-century classic sits on 5 acres and features concrete floors, original steel windows, cement block construction and bullnosed window sills. The original blond exposed beam ceilings extend from the main living area into the bedroom. The ample windows wash the interior with light. The ingenious L-shaped floor plan makes the most of the square footage with a large open living space/kitchen area with private bedroom and bath. Step out the living room door to an ample concrete patio with epic views of the Pinto Mountains of Joshua Tree National Park. From the bedroom, incredible sunset views over the snow-capped San Gorgonio Mountain. It is 5 miles from the Joshua Tree National Park visitor’s center, 29 Palms Inn, Kitchen in the Desert and Grndsqrl. There is a power pole to the cabin and Southern California Edison paperwork has been started to reconnect electricity. Classified as a "single family residence," this home can be upgraded without the extreme requirements of making improvements to a property classed as a "recreational cabin." It is a project and requires a creative eye to see the potential, but when finished, it will be a very unique true mid-century gem.
