Bakersfield, CA 93308
Analysis of 2202 Bedford, Bakersfield, CA 93308 is currently available with a list price of $295,000. The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Bakersfield Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for both Buy-and-Hold Investors and Owner-Occupants willing to undertake light renovation work.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this property is over 70 years old. While the exterior appears well-maintained with modern solar panels and a seemingly newer roof, there are no interior images to assess the condition of the kitchen and single bathroom. Given the age, it's highly probable that these critical areas, along with other interior features, retain older styles and may require significant updates to meet current standards and buyer expectations, despite the general 'well taken care of' description. The limited bathroom count (1 for 3 bedrooms) is also a functional limitation common in older homes.
The property is zoned R2 with a huge backyard, explicitly offering a significant opportunity to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), enhancing its income potential or multi-generational living options.
Conveniently situated near a college, schools, and a shopping center, providing easy access to essential amenities and services, which is attractive to various buyer demographics.
Explicitly marketed as a 'great opportunity for an investment,' supported by its R2 zoning and ADU potential, suggesting strong future value appreciation or rental income.
Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =6207, other record lot size in square feet = 6097.
The property is listed as a 'Condominium' (sub_type) which directly contradicts the description of having a 'huge backyard to build an ADU' and being 'zoned R2,' typically associated with single-family homes. This requires immediate clarification as it impacts financing, ownership structure, and development potential.
The home features only 1 bathroom for 3 bedrooms, which can be a significant functional limitation and inconvenience for families or multiple occupants, potentially impacting resale value.
Great opportunity for an investment - well taken care of 3 bedroom 1 bath home; with huge backyard to build an ADU; property is zoned R2. Gated front yard makes it safe for kids to play. Conveniently located near college, schools and shopping center.
No exterior & parking available.
