This modest century home, located in Mojave, California, features a simple architectural style typical of early 20th-century residences. Built during a period when the area was developing, it holds historical significance as part of the region’s growth. The property includes two bedrooms and one bathroom, offering potential for additional units, ideal for expanding living space or rental opportunities. Listed at $115,000, this home sits on an ample plot with a fenced front yard, though specific square footage and recent renovation details are not provided. Its straightforward design and strategic location make it a promising investment in a growing community.

Front Yard and Exterior

A modest single-story home with a simple gabled roof painted white, contrasting with dark window and door trims. The front yard is enclosed by a low chain-link fence with a small gate leading to a concrete walkway that runs to the covered front porch. Sparse vegetation and dry patches of grass give the yard an understated, somewhat arid appearance. The porch has two supporting columns and houses a bench, offering a small sheltered seating area. Surrounding homes and utility poles hint at a suburban neighborhood setting with an open and unobstructed skyline.

Backyard and Surrounding Lot

A modest white house sits centrally within a spacious, fenced yard of dry, patchy earth and sparse greenery. The home has a pitched roof with simple lines and a small porch area visible from the rear. Surrounding the property are a mix of residential homes and a larger multi-unit building to the right. The yard extends broad and open behind the house, featuring some scattered bushes and small trees. The neighborhood appears established but modest, with visible utility poles and narrow streets defining the suburban layout under a clear blue sky.

Side Yard Exterior

A narrow side yard bordered by two residential buildings, one with white painted stucco walls and a visible window-mounted air conditioning unit. The ground is dry and patchy, with sparse grass and dirt patches. A reddish garden hose lies coiled near the base of the white building. A basic metal and plastic barbecue grill stands on the right side near a chain-link fence separating the properties. In the distance, tall, slender palm and cypress trees rise against a bright, clear blue sky, emphasizing the dry, sunny climate of the area.

Kitchen Interior Details

A narrow kitchen with a simple, utilitarian layout. White cabinetry runs along one side beneath a long, brown-speckled countertop topped with dish drying racks and basic kitchen utensils. Opposite, a white gas stove displays a towel and a covered pot, placed next to a refrigerator adorned with handwritten notes, pictures, and magnets. Walls and ceiling are painted a light cream, creating a somewhat dated but airy feel. The floor is covered with large off-white tiles. A red mop bucket and broom lean against the far wall, while a series of small framed decorations and hooks holding colorful measuring cups add a touch of personality.

Living Room Seating Area

A cozy living room corner with light beige walls and large windows draped with simple white curtains allowing natural light to fill the room. The space displays a dark brown sectional sofa with plush cushioning lining two adjacent walls, facing a minimalist marble-topped coffee table with a gold metal frame. The flooring is wooden with a warm, medium-toned finish, complementing the neutral color palette. A small wooden bookshelf filled with books and some clutter sits against one wall, providing a homey touch. Decorative circular wall hangings featuring animal imagery add a subtle rustic charm to the otherwise straightforward, lived-in space.

Bathroom Details

Compact bathroom with a white vanity cabinet showing signs of wear and a simple countertop with chrome faucet fixtures. Above the sink, a medium-sized rectangular mirror reflects part of the adjacent room. The bathtub is partly hidden by a vibrant shower curtain featuring warm orange tones and southwestern-inspired geometric and Kokopelli patterns. A tall metal shelving unit stands between the tub and vanity, loaded with assorted toiletries, bottles, and a woven basket on the top shelf. The beige tiled floor and plain white walls create a neutral backdrop, contrasting with the bold shower curtain’s lively design.

Bedroom Interior

Wood flooring stretches across the room, creating a warm yet simple foundation. A bed with dark bedding featuring white ornamental patterns dominates the space. Light filters softly through beige curtains covering two windows on adjacent walls. A minimalist white wardrobe stands in one corner topped with suitcases and miscellaneous items. Nearby, a wooden desk holds papers and small objects, indicating practical use. Walls are painted in an off-white shade with a subtle texture, offering a neutral backdrop. Despite its simplicity, the space feels lived-in with personal touches and functional furniture.

Children’s Bedroom

Two single beds with playful bedding occupy separate sides of the modest bedroom. The left bed is covered with a pastel blanket featuring soft prints, while the right bed has a navy blue space-themed comforter scattered with stars and planets. A small black chest with drawers stands between the beds, topped with personal items and a lamp illuminating the dim room. The walls are plain cream, with a simple brown curtain partially covering the window. Flooring is warm-toned hardwood, and a colorful plastic toy structure is positioned near the right side, adding a lively touch to this functional child’s sleeping space.

Bedroom

Two twin-sized beds with gray frames occupy the room, both beds showing colorful, playful bedding—one with space-themed prints and the other with lighter, pastel colors. Each bed has toys and stuffed animals on top, adding a child-friendly touch. Two dark dressers, one brown and one black, stand between the beds with items casually stacked on them. The walls are painted a soft beige, which coordinates with the warm wood-like laminate flooring. The windows are dressed with dark brown curtains that provide contrast, while a ceiling-mounted light fixture brightens the space. The room has a casual, lived-in feel.

Utility/Laundry Room

A small, functional utility space with pale yellow walls and an aging ceiling. A white dryer is positioned on the right side, cluttered with various small items on top. Next to it is a flexible vent hose. The room has a narrow window ledge running along the back wall, filled with miscellaneous tools, household items, and cleaning supplies. Two red metal toolboxes sit stacked against the wall near the floor. The floor appears worn and somewhat grimy. The overall lighting is natural but subdued, emanating mainly through the upper windows near the ceiling. The space feels utilitarian and somewhat cluttered, geared toward practical household tasks.
