This Dwell-featured architectural jewel sits amidst Joshua Trees on over two acres in Upper Friendly Hills. 7677 Wilton Rd is a striking Buckminster Fuller-inspired geodesic dome with soaring ceilings, dramatic skylights, and stunning views of the surrounding mountains and desert. The lower level welcomes you with bamboo flooring and a bright, open layout that flows between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. The kitchen features colorful accents and stainless steel appliances, while the spacious primary suite offers a generous bedroom, large closets, and an en-suite bath. A spiral staircase leads to the lofted second level, where two additional bedrooms with unique triangular windows overlook the grounds. A modern bath showcases designer tile and dual sinks, and a flexible bonus room provides can serve as a fourth bedroom or central office space. Designed to capture natural light and frame the desert sky, the dome's wooden hexagonal details and abundant skylights create a uniquely beautiful atmosphere. Outdoors, the property offers a wraparound deck for al fresco dining, a propane fire pit, and a hot tub perfect for stargazing. With thoughtful upgrades including a newer roof, windows and sliding doors, an updated AC condenser, refreshed baths, and a newer hot water heater, this extraordinary home blends architectural wonder with modern comfort. Whether envisioned as a primary residence, or a serene vacation retreat, this desert dome presents the rare opportunity to live inside a work of art.
