Historic 1938 Commercial Gem in Twentynine Palms.
Step into a piece of Twentynine Palms history. This beautifully restored 1938 commercial building was the original Desert Trail newspaper office. Thoughtfully renovated in 2024, this iconic property seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern convenience. Every detail was carefully preserved while incorporating brand-new energy efficient systems, including HVAC, plumbing, electrical, drywall, exterior plaster, new insulated roof, and lighting.
Spanning 1,301 square feet, the building features an open layout with private offices, two restrooms, and a kitchenette, offering flexible functionality. High vaulted wood-beamed ceilings add character, while multiple entrances enhance versatility for various business uses. A covered flagstone veranda faces Adobe Road, providing inviting curb appeal.
This distinctive space is ideal for a stylish salon, spa, medical office, or professional workspace. A rare opportunity for a visionary investor to own a timeless landmark and bring new life to a historic piece of Twentynine Palms. (Zoned General Commercial. Please see attached listing supplements).
