Offered for the first time in over 50 years, this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits on a corner lot with a large gated yard. Fresh interior paint gives it a clean, move-in-ready feel. The home has central heat and air, plus an evaporative cooler in the living room for extra cooling on hot Bakersfield summer days. On cooler evenings, a real wood-burning fireplace adds warmth and charm to the living space. Out back, the spacious yard has plenty of room to relax, garden or entertain, and an above-ground spa makes it easy to unwind at the end of the day. The two-car garage leads to a bonus room that works well as a home gym, hobby space or extra storage. The home is close to Valley Plaza Mall for shopping and dining, with easy access to major roadways for commuting around Bakersfield and beyond. Homes this well cared for, after this many years with one owner, don't come along often.
