While the bathroom has a newer vanity, there is visible deferred maintenance such as unfinished light fixture repairs. The interior features worn carpeting and older wall-mounted heating units, indicating the property has not undergone a comprehensive renovation in several decades.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7784, living area = 888.
Listed at $189,999, this property offers an affordable entry point into the Ridgecrest market, making it highly attractive for first-time homebuyers or budget-conscious investors.
