More Insights
Built in 1990 (36 years old).
Condition: While the property benefits from brand-new LVP flooring, fresh paint, new kitchen quartz countertops, a designer tile backsplash, and a new deck, the overall condition is a mix of updated and dated elements. The kitchen cabinets and appliances appear to be original or older, not matching the 'refreshed' description for a full modern renovation. Crucially, the bathrooms are significantly outdated, featuring original 1990s oak vanities, tiled countertops, and older light fixtures, which would require substantial renovation to meet current standards. The property's 1990 build year also suggests that core systems like HVAC and roofing may be nearing the end of their lifespan, as noted in the property analysis. These factors indicate that while move-in ready, the property requires significant updates in key areas to achieve a modern aesthetic and functionality.

Age of Core Systems Unspecified: Built in 1990, while cosmetic updates are highlighted, the description does not specify updates to major systems such as HVAC, roof, or plumbing, which may be nearing the end of their typical lifespan.
Significant Investment for Outdoor Amenities: The 'endless possibilities' for a pool, ADU, or outdoor kitchen are currently undeveloped, requiring substantial additional financial investment and planning from the buyer.
Lack of Energy Efficiency Upgrades Mentioned: Given the 1990 build year and Bakersfield's climate, the absence of specific mentions of energy-efficient windows, insulation, or solar panels could imply higher utility costs.
