About this property

Meet Sunny & Vale: two distinct desert dwellings sharing one beautifully private, nearly half-acre parcel in Twentynine Palms. Sunny, the 1,340-square-foot main house, is thoroughly desert modern, with soaring 14-foot ceilings, exposed industrial ductwork, warm cork floors and a fantastic view of the Pinto Mountains from her front porch. Sunny is open, airy and wonderfully relaxed. A white-painted brick fireplace anchors the living room, while original steel-framed windows and generous glass doors fill the space with desert light and connect it to the outdoors. Just off the living room, a breakfast nook offers mountain views and the bungalow's original shelving, along with a new built-in banquette, ideal for early-morning lattes, group dinners or game nights. The spacious kitchen is as functional as it is distinctive, with plentiful plywood-clad cabinetry, solid-surface counters, a generous work area and a vintage O'Keefe & Merritt gas stove that brings serious character to the room. There's ample space for everyday cooking, gathering and entertaining, all within easy reach of the living and dining areas.Two spacious bedrooms include a primary suite with a private bath and terra-cotta floors. A second bath, new plumbing, updated electrical, central heat and air, and abundant storage make Sunny as practical as she is charming. Out back, a patio and hot tub create a private spot for soaking beneath the desert sky. Vale, an approximately 600-square-foot permitted detached ADU, has a personality all her own. Whitewashed brick walls, smooth concrete floors and a peaked wood-plank ceiling give the little house a rustic, tucked-away feel. A fireplace with its original red-brick hearth anchors the living space, while tall, slender windows and a black-framed glass door bring in plenty of natural light. A built-in sleeping nook beside the fireplace makes an irresistible spot for reading, lounging or the occasional overnight guest. Vale also has a separate bedroom and en suite bath, giving this second house the privacy and functionality of a true independent residence. The full kitchen is compact but complete, with plywood cabinetry, solid-surface countertops and an original stove, plus room to prepare, serve and enjoy meals. Her own separately fenced outdoor space completes the picture. Completely self-contained, Vale works beautifully as a guest house, creative studio, private office, multigenerational space or separate rental. Together, Sunny & Vale make a compelling pair: live in Sunny while renting out Vale, or keep both for guests, work and creative pursuits. They're connected when you want them to be and completely independent when you don't.Recent improvements include a new roof, new HVAC, updated bathrooms, new plumbing, fully updated electrical, tankless water heaters and new fencing. Irrigation has been added to the front yard, supporting the mature desert landscaping and creating a more established arrival.Set on approximately .47 acre behind a privacy fence, the property also includes a two-car garage, mature desert landscaping and abundant off-street parking.Two houses. Two personalities. One exceptional property--beautifully private, remarkably versatile, and ready for whatever comes next. Sold furnished, offering a turnkey opportunity to step into the desert lifestyle.
