More Insights
Built in 1936 (90 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1936, making it 88 years old. While the listing mentions 'Updated Touches' and being 'move-in ready,' the lack of interior photos prevents a detailed assessment of the kitchen and bathroom conditions, appliances, or other interior features. The exterior images show an older, modest home that appears maintained but not recently renovated to modern standards. The property's age suggests that major systems, even if functional, are likely outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria of being aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates, with major components showing signs of being outdated. It does not appear to require substantial repairs or demolition, but it's far from new or extensively renovated within recent years.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Convenience: The property boasts a prime location in North Bakersfield, offering unparalleled convenience with immediate proximity to a Dollar General store, public transportation, shopping centers, and schools.
Strong Investment Potential: Explicitly highlighted as a 'Great Investment Opportunity' with 'strong rental demand' in a growing area, making it attractive for investors or first-time homebuyers seeking future appreciation.
Move-in Ready Condition: The description mentions 'Updated Touches' that make the home 'move-in ready,' suggesting recent improvements that reduce immediate renovation needs for a new owner.
Enhanced Privacy & Security Features: The property includes practical security and privacy elements such as block wall fencing and a wrought iron gate, adding to its curb appeal and safety.
Targeted Affordability: Positioned as an ideal option for first-time homebuyers, small families, or couples, offering an affordable entry point into the market for a well-located and manageable home.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =3626, other record lot size in square feet = 5662. Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 462, other record living area = 864.
Extremely Small Square Footage: At only 462 sqft, the property offers very limited living space, which may feel cramped and restrict its appeal to a broader market or growing families.
Advanced Age of Structure: Built in 1936, the home is nearly 90 years old, which could imply potential for outdated infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and higher maintenance costs despite recent 'updated touches'.
Direct Commercial Proximity: While convenient, being 'right next door' to a Dollar General store may introduce concerns regarding noise, traffic, and a less residential ambiance for some potential buyers.
