A Fully Renovated Home with a Permitted ADU

1507 Pearl St pairs a beautifully remodeled 2-bedroom, 1-bath main home with a permitted ADU at the rear of the lot — each with its own private entrance, yard, and in-unit laundry. The front home has been thoughtfully updated throughout, from a brand-new kitchen with farmhouse sink and fresh tile work to a fully refreshed bathroom. The ADU offers two bedrooms, a galley kitchen, and true independence from the main home — ideal for extended family, guests, or rental flexibility, with the added confidence of permitted status.

Why This Property Works

• Permitted ADU. The rear unit isn't a gray-area second dwelling — it's a permitted ADU, which means straightforward financing and appraisal, and real peace of mind for buyers.
• Move-in ready. The front home's kitchen and bathroom have both been freshly remodeled — new cabinetry, farmhouse sink, tile work, and a refreshed bath with new vanity.
• True separation between homes. The ADU has its own private entrance, paved yard, and is completely independent from the main home.
• Flexible living. Two bedrooms in the ADU work well for extended family, guests, or rental income.
• Indoor laundry in both homes. A rare convenience for this configuration — hookups are in place in the main home and right off the living room in the ADU.
• Generous, gated outdoor space. A large gated front yard plus a separate gated backyard keep both homes private.
• Paid-in-full solar. Keeps utility costs low for whoever owns it — a real advantage for an owner-occupant or a landlord splitting utilities with a tenant.
• Tandem parking serves the property with room for multiple vehicles.

Annual Income & Expense Analysis

All figures in this section are proforma estimates based on area data as of September 2026 — not actual bids, quotes, or historical performance for this property. Property tax is estimated by applying the current combined tax rate for Tax Rate Area 056-063 (1.163785%, per Kern County Treasurer-Tax Collector) to the $299,000 asking price, plus fixed special assessments unaffected by reassessment (Land Use-Landfill, KSA Sewer, CSA22 St Lights, KMVCD Vector, Metro BKFD — $1,931.34 combined); the seller's actual current FY2025-26 tax bill is lower ($4,937.41, paid in full) due to a Prop 13-protected assessed value that resets upon change of ownership. Insurance is estimated at $1,500/year based on published California landlord insurance averages. Maintenance is estimated at $2,990/year using the "1% of property value" rule of thumb. Landscaping is estimated at $1,440/year ($120/month) based on published Bakersfield-area pricing for a lot under 8,000 SF; the current owners perform this work themselves at no cash cost, so this line reflects a market-rate estimate for a buyer who would not self-perform it. PG&E is the sole electric and natural gas provider in Bakersfield and bills both on one combined statement; sellers report $70–$100/month for 8 months of the year with 4 months at $0 (solar credit), plus this year's annual true-up of $1,200, reportedly elevated due to an underperforming component — the prior two years had no true-up at all. Water is estimated at $480/year ($30–$50/month, seller-reported). Utility figures are based on sellers' verbal estimates, not verified bills. A 2% vacancy factor has been applied to Gross Scheduled Income per standard underwriting practice. Property management fees are not included and should be added by the buyer if applicable. Gross Scheduled Income is based on the estimated market rents shown above; the Property is not currently rented and no actual income history exists. Buyers should independently verify and underwrite all figures in this section prior to making an investment decision.
