Welcome to 1624 Balsa Ave--a one-of-a-kind creative retreat, owned and updated by an artist and interior decorator. This stylish two-bedroom, one-bath home perfectly balances comfort and character. The open living space is bathed in natural light and features a charming wood-burning fireplace, custom maple cabinetry, and a stunning glass door with screened sidelights that lead to a serene back patio. Rustic concrete floors and custom woodwork throughout the home add warmth and a distinct desert vibe. The remodeled bathroom is a showstopper, with hand-applied silver-leafed walls, a spacious walk-in shower, and a rare vintage Kohler sink paired with a Waterworks faucet. Solar panels help keep utility costs low, while a newer mini-split system and vintage maple ceiling fans in every room ensure year-round comfort. Additional upgrades include a new 200-amp electrical panel and a recently replaced roof. Set on 2.5 acres of natural beauty, the property offers a sanctuary-like environment where you can observe indigenous wildlife, including quail, rabbits, and birds, amidst mature landscaping, white sage plants, and vibrant birds-of-paradise trees. The property also boasts a cedar hot tub for soaking up the breathtaking sunsets, a two-car detached garage, and a 40-ft shipping container for storage or creative projects. Partially furnished and ready to inspire, this thoughtfully designed desert gem is waiting to welcome you home.
