More Insights
Built in 1959 (67 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1959, has undergone significant recent renovations, particularly in the kitchen and at least one bathroom, which feature modern finishes, appliances, and fixtures. Newer windows and a brand-new gazebo also contribute to its updated appeal. While the underlying major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may still be older due to the home's age, the visible areas are move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required. The second bathroom appears updated but needs minor finishing touches like a mirror and light fixture.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Outdoor Entertainment Oasis: The property boasts a sparkling pool, a brand-new gazebo, and a huge lot, creating an ideal environment for outdoor living and entertaining, highly desirable in Bakersfield's climate.
Significant Recent Upgrades: Key areas like the kitchen have been upgraded, and newer windows have been installed, enhancing the home's modern appeal, functionality, and energy efficiency, reducing immediate renovation needs.
Spacious Living Accommodations: With four bedrooms and 2015 square feet of living space, the home offers ample room for families, guests, or dedicated home office areas.
No Homeowners Association (HOA) Fees: The absence of HOA fees is a notable financial advantage, contributing to lower monthly ownership costs for the buyer.
Excellent School Proximity and Ratings: The property benefits from being within close proximity to highly-rated elementary (0.17 miles) and high schools (0.85 miles), making it very attractive to families.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7475, other record lot size in square feet = 7405.
Age of Property & Potential for Unseen Costs: Built in 1959, while some upgrades are noted, the property's age suggests that other major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, original HVAC components) may be older and could require significant maintenance or replacement in the near future, representing potential unforeseen costs for a buyer.
Lack of Specific HVAC Upgrade Information: Given Bakersfield's hot climate, the absence of explicit mention of an upgraded or modern HVAC system (beyond 'newer windows' which improve insulation) could be a concern for comfort and energy efficiency, potentially indicating an older, less efficient unit.
High Maintenance Outdoor Space: While the 'huge lot' and 'sparkling pool' are attractive, they also imply significant ongoing maintenance requirements and costs for landscaping and pool upkeep, which might not appeal to all buyers.
