JT Improper · Saltwater Pool, Hot Tub, 10 Acres

Summary:

A saltwater pool, a hot tub built into a stargazing deck with a gas fire pit and sunset views from a bluff on 10 acres set JT Improper apart, a fully renovated 70s-style home in North Joshua Tree featured in Vice. A sunken disco bedroom, neon art by Olivia Steele, a 1971 VW Bug and an audiophile sound system with records fill the place with surprises. Swim by day, then soak and stargaze from the deck at night.
