More Insights

Built in 1993 (33 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1993, is clean and well-maintained with updated paint and flooring (tile downstairs, wood-look upstairs). However, the kitchen features dated white tile countertops, matching white appliances, and an old fluorescent light fixture. The bathrooms also show dated vanities, cultured marble countertops, and Hollywood strip lighting. While functional and move-in ready, these key areas require minor to moderate updates to align with current styles and preferences, fitting the 'Fair' category criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated.

Cons

Small Lot Size: With a lot size of 3920 sqft, the outdoor space is relatively limited, which may not appeal to buyers seeking a larger yard or extensive outdoor living area.
Potentially Dated Kitchen Finishes: While spacious, the 'white tile counters and matching white appliances' might be considered somewhat dated by current design trends, potentially requiring future updates for some buyers.
Unspecified Cooling System: The description does not mention a cooling system (e.g., central AC), which could be a significant drawback in Bakersfield's hot climate and may require investigation or installation.
