Property Description
This gorgeous 3 bedroom 2 bath mid-century modern is situated on just under a half acre in the desirable Country Club Estates area of Yucca Valley. The home was custom built during Yucca Valleys Hollywood heyday of Jimmy Van Heusen and his Hollywood pals for actor and singer Harv Presnell & his young family as their desert retreat. As you approach the home via a sweeping circular driveway, your eyes are immediately drawn to the floor to ceiling glass panels that blend seamlessly into both sides of the dramatic indoor outdoor rock fireplace. Truly architecture becoming art. As you enter through the elegant double doors, the open plan living design announces the living room, dining room & kitchen. The sizable step down living room with high ceilings is anchored at one end by the impressive rock fireplace & the other end by an 8 ft tall slider leading to a patio to relax & take in the expansive view of Yucca Valley & Joshua Tree to the east. The plantation shutters add to the elegance of this room. Crossing the entry is the dining room again showing attention to detail with more plantation shutters and another slider which opens out to a front patio with gorgeous views. The kitchen has the original cabinetry, ceramic tile countertops and the classic black & white checkerboard floor. This home features a center hall plan which accesses all the bedrooms. The primary bedroom has an attached room currently used as an office but could be a 4th bedroom if needed. The two rooms both have sliders which open to a rear patio with incredible mountain views. The family bath, which has dual vanities and the primary bath are also finished with white ceramic tile throughout. The attached double garage is permitted living space which was converted to a game room by the previous owners & currently returned to its original purpose. The center hall is equipped with a wall of closet space for additional storage. This home has been beautifully preserved and curated by the current owners. The side yard offers a shaded pergola patio ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The backyard has plenty of space to add a pool or guesthouse if desired. This one-of-a-kind home beautifully blends mid-century character with desert ranch comfort, offering privacy, space, & incredible views--all in one of Yucca Valley's most coveted neighborhoods. This is a unique opportunity for a buyer who appreciates the serene location & design features of this light filled desert home with unlimited potential.
