More Insights
Built in 1948 (78 years old).
Condition: This 1948-built home, despite being described as 'updated,' shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance that push it into the 'poor' condition category. The kitchen features very dated white appliances (built-in oven/microwave, gas cooktop) that are likely well past their expected lifespan, along with older cabinets, countertops, and light fixtures. The bathrooms are also severely outdated, with older fixtures and styles; notably, one bathroom has an unfinished floor, indicating an immediate need for repair. Hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and bedrooms show substantial wear and tear, requiring professional refinishing. Furthermore, the absence of a central cooling system is a major functional deficiency for Bakersfield's climate, necessitating a significant investment. The property's HUD-owned 'as-is' status further supports the need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation to bring it to modern standards.
