San Gorgonio, this charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers comfort, style, and a strong investment opportunity. The kitchen features newer granite countertops, a trendy corrugated tile backsplash, and an enviable walk-in pantry, while the adjacent dining area is filled with natural light—perfect for everyday meals or casual entertaining. A cozy living room anchors the home with its custom rock wall and windows that frame the property’s impressive southerly vistas. The large primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet and its own Mitsubishi mini-split system, while the second bedroom makes a great office or guest room. The bathroom is updated, and the home includes new plumbing, fresh interior and exterior paint, and new ceiling fans throughout. The two-car garage features a laundry area and a brand-new electric garage door.

Surrounded by open land, the property offers privacy, sunset views, and a true desert escape. Additional highlights include natural gas appliances and high-speed internet.
