THE MORRISON HOUSE | A MID-CENTURY MODERN SANCTUARY IN JOSHUA TREE VILLAGE! A rare and authentic expression of California mid-century modernism, The Morrison House stands as a beautifully preserved example of Atomic Age design in the heart of Joshua Tree Village. Built in 1959 by celebrated local builder Joe Arch for aerospace engineer Donald R. Morrison, this striking block home was conceived as a weekend retreat, and it remains a timeless architectural gem with genuine provenance. Lovingly maintained by just four owners, the home features largely intact original details, complemented by thoughtful updates. Set back from the street for privacy, the property offers strong curb appeal with classic breeze-block, mature landscaping, and integrated carport. Inside, clerestory windows flood the space with natural light, while sleek concrete tiles accentuate the modern aesthetic. The spacious living/dining area enjoys angularly-framed mountain views. This space abounds with original elements, like Danish modern teardrop pendant lights, a substantial brick fireplace, and a warm wooden feature wall with built-ins. The remodeled kitchen blends contemporary convenience with period-appropriate style. Stainless steel fixtures, glass mosaic backsplash, engineered quartz countertops, finished bamboo cabinets, and breakfast bar make this space both practical and visually compelling. The stylishly renovated bathroom features a glass-enclosed shower with a beach-entry pebble tile floor. Original details, including the medicine cabinet and light fixture, have been carefully preserved. Dual-pane glass doors open to a spacious covered patio and a secluded block-walled courtyard, accessible from both the living room and bedroom. A mosaic art piece by Don Morrison himself remains embedded in the courtyard wall. The terraced yard features steps that lead to enchantingly intimate outdoor spaces. Many original plantings remain, and the yard is home to abundant wildlife. An additional privacy parcel is included. A new steel roof (2024) and a 3-ton high-efficiency heat pump provide durability and year-round comfort. All of this is just a short hop from Joshua Tree's vibrant downtown. The Morrison House is a piece of Joshua Tree history, a masterclass in mid-century design, and a deeply livable sanctuary where architecture, landscape, and lifestyle exist in perfect harmony. Opportunities like this are exceedingly rare. Come experience it for yourself.
