13913 Taradale Ct, Bakersfield, CA 93314

This unique 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom, split wing home in northwest Bakersfield is turn key. What sets it apart from other homes is its lushly and densely landscaped backyard. The owners spent years transforming the rear of the lot into their own foresty and tranquil oasis. Instead of the traditional sod-covered play area and shrubs, this backyard features shade trees, plants and groundcovers of all sizes with a running stream, brick and wooden walkways, benches and birdbaths. In the heat of summer, it is a shady, cool and calming getaway. The front yard as well is bordered by taller hedges and trees, providing additional "insulation" from other properties on the quiet cul de sac. The inside of the 2,388-square-foot home is spotless, with new paint and carpet.
