Bakersfield Contemporary Listed for $3M

Perched upon a hillside is this ultra private, one-of-a-kind custom architectural-one of only a handful of contemporary homes in Bakersfield, California. A labor of love taking years to build, the owners thoughtfully designed the elements throughout their two-story, 6,588 sq ft dream home. The double-height open living area includes walls of glass, letting the California sunshine fill the space, and also boasts a 16 sq ft gas fireplace, one of 6 throughout the home, with dramatic alcove lighting running the entire double height of the room. The home also features a custom floating wood staircase with stainless steel cables and handrails, a second-floor clear glass bridge, an industrial-sized 9’ diameter ceiling fan, and even a laundry chute. The upstairs master bedroom with outdoor patio includes two separate en suite baths, both with fireplaces, marble herringbone floors, frosted glass walls, and separate custom walk-in closets. The interior flows to the exterior with several patios, including a huge second floor wrap around patio, offering sweeping views of city lights and the best sunsets in Bakersfield. The exterior includes a 50’ pool, two fire pits, and expansive lawns, where a stainless steel sculpture, designed by the owner, is a focal point of the property. Environmentally conscious solar panels cover the majority of the roof, plus to make life easier, the entire home can be controlled remotely with its custom Crestron home automation system.
