In Bakersfield, $690,000 can buy you a gorgeous 4,200 square foot home in an exclusive, gated community.
Local realtor Tracey Tipton shows us the property, which boasts four bedrooms, an office and much more.
“In here you have the big formal living and the formal dining,” Tipton says as she takes us on a tour of the property. “My favorite part about the formal living area is that you have these big grand windows looking out to your courtyard.”
The courtyard is a central feature of the home with a full-size pool and spa. It can be seen from nearly every room.
But it’s not the only outdoor space. There’s also a backyard with a fireplace and barbecue.
Inside, there’s a kitchen that’s sure to impress any chef with top of the line finishes and appliances, including a six-burner stove.
But perhaps the most impressive room in this 4,200 square foot home…
“So this is the master suite, and the master as you can see is very large,” Tipton says.
At nearly 1,000 square feet, the master suite is the size of an average two-bedroom apartment.
There are two additional bedrooms and bathrooms, an office with built-ins, and separate quarters for your mother-in-law.
The home is also conveniently located, just ten minutes from downtown and less than 150 miles from most major cities.
“We have people on the coast that move over here because they’re paying, you know, $2 million for a home that size,” Tipton explains. “You know, they come over here and they’re getting 4,000 square feet and they’re paying $600,000. So a lot of people don’t mind the commute.”
And that helps drive the hot Bakersfield housing market.
