Over $100,000 Price Reduction! This is an opportunity to live in one and rent the other, or have 2 rental units on one lot in a residential neighborhood near Veterans Park and Mission College. The original house was a 2+1 Jim Dandy that was expanded with permits to a 3 +2 with 1179 square feet. The house has central air and heat, and a new kitchen with gas stove and hood, plus a built in dishwasher. The old garage was converted with permits to a 1+1 ADU with kitchen, living room, bedroom with sliding glass door to patio, and a full bathroom. There is an additional attached half bath that is accessed from the rear patio outside the bedroom sliding glass door. The square footage of the ADU is now 409 square feet. The roof of the house and ADU have been partially redone in areas that needed it. Covered parking is available in a front carport as well as a rear carport beside the ADU that is accessed from the paved rear alley. The lot has multiple fruit trees and avocados. The driveway affords space for multiple cars to park off street. The certificates of occupancy for the two houses are available to review upon request.

Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1947, this property has undergone significant permitted renovations that bring its condition up to a 'Good' standard. The main house features a 'new kitchen' with a gas stove, hood, and built-in dishwasher, along with central air and heat, indicating recent major system and aesthetic upgrades. The permitted ADU also includes a kitchen and a recently updated bathroom (as seen in image 7 with modern vanity and glass shower). While some older elements like the wainscoting and window AC unit in one room (image 4) and the 'partially redone' roof suggest not all components are new, the substantial updates to key areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and HVAC systems make the property largely move-in ready with functional major systems, aligning with the criteria for a 'Good' rating.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Great Schools: Middle School: Robert Frost Middle School (9/10).
Income-Generating Potential: The property offers a versatile duplex configuration with a permitted Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), allowing for owner-occupancy with rental income or dual rental units, maximizing investment potential.
Significant Price Reduction: A substantial $100,000 price reduction has been applied, making the property more competitive and attractive to potential buyers in the current market.
Updated Main House Amenities: The main house features desirable modern updates including central air and heat, and a new kitchen equipped with a gas stove, hood, and built-in dishwasher.
Ample Permitted Parking: The property provides extensive parking options, including covered carports in both the front and rear, plus a driveway accommodating multiple off-street vehicles.
Permitted Structures and Expansions: Both the main house expansion and the ADU conversion were completed with permits, ensuring legality and reducing potential compliance issues for the buyer.

Cons

Partial Roof Repair: The roof of the house and ADU has only been 'partially redone in areas that needed it,' suggesting that other sections may still be original or require future maintenance/replacement.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1947, the property's age implies that underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as updated may be older and could require significant investment in the future.
Inconvenient ADU Half Bath Access: The additional half bath for the ADU is accessed from the rear patio outside the bedroom sliding glass door, which is an unusual and less private arrangement for tenants or guests.
