    What's special

    Fully fenced private yardAda compliant doorwaysKitchen plumbingNewer stuccoUpdated bathroom
    One block from the heart of downtown Joshua Tree, in full view of the farmers market and the steady foot traffic that defines this neighborhood, sits one of the most versatile commercial spaces in the desert. Natural light pours through the day. French doors open from the rear rooms to a fully fenced private yard - a patio, a garden, client entrance, or simply the best part of a workday. This live/work space offers a flexible layout that flows from an open front area into two generous rear rooms and a large central bathroom with ample turnaround radius. ADA compliant doorways, kitchen plumbing, washer/dryer hookups, and space plumbed for a shower add to the potential. The property has newer stucco, fresh interior and exterior paint, and an updated bathroom. This space has served as a writer's studio and a podcast recording room. IIt's also been seriously considered as a coffee shop, ice cream counter, boutique grocery, beauty studio, clothing boutique, coworking space, and office each of these possibilities made sense -- which tells you something. The current owner had to move so they were not able to see their plans to fruition but they've poured a ton into the space so you don't have to. Over 3 million people visit Joshua Tree National Park each year and walk through this neighborhood spending time and money. The businesses serving them are few. With limited commercial inventory in the area, the opportunity is clear. The adjacent parcel may also be available separately. Some photographs have been virtually enhanced to show conceptual renderings. Buyer to verify all uses, permits, and utilities.
