More Insights

Built in 1941 (85 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1941, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The description highlights new electrical rewiring, replaced windows, new water heater, new paint, new light fixtures, and new appliances in the front house. The front house bathrooms are upgraded with modern finishes, and hardwood flooring is present throughout much of both units. While the cottage kitchen is described as 'cozy' and its bathroom appears clean but older in style, and the property lacks central HVAC (indicated by a window AC unit in the cottage and only ceiling fans mentioned), the significant updates to major systems and aesthetics qualify it for a 'Good' score. It meets the criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years, with well-maintained systems and minimal wear and tear, even if not every component is brand new or top-tier.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Dual Income/Multi-Generational Potential: This property features two distinct homes on one lot, explicitly marketed for primary living, multi-generational use, or rental income, offering significant flexibility and investment opportunities as a Residential Income/Duplex.
Extensive Upgrades & Turn-Key Condition: Both units have undergone significant renovations, including complete new electrical rewiring, replaced windows, new appliances in the front house, new water heater, and fresh interior/exterior paint, making the property move-in ready and well-maintained.
Charming Features & Quality Finishes: The front house boasts beautiful hardwood flooring, a ledgestone fireplace, and window seats, while the cottage also features hardwood flooring, adding character and aesthetic appeal to both residences.
Added Functional Space: A newly remodeled bonus room provides valuable extra space, ideal for an office, hobby room, or additional storage, enhancing the property's utility and appeal.
Private Outdoor Spaces: Each home benefits from its own inviting and private yard with separate sprinkler systems, and the cottage includes a darling patio area, ensuring privacy and outdoor enjoyment for occupants.

Cons

Lack of Central HVAC: The property description highlights new ceiling fans but does not mention central air conditioning or heating, which is a critical comfort and value consideration, particularly given Bakersfield's often hot climate.
Age of Unspecified Systems: While electrical, windows, and water heater have been updated, the 1941 build year suggests other major systems (e.g., plumbing, roof, foundation) may still be original or older, potentially requiring future investment not detailed in the current upgrades.
Limited Parking Details: The description mentions a 'garage area' used for laundry and storage, but lacks clear details on dedicated or ample parking solutions for two separate units, which could be a practical concern for tenants or multi-generational living arrangements.
