More Insights

Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: This property presents a mixed condition. The newly constructed ADU (built 2025) is in excellent, virtually new condition, featuring modern luxury, high-end finishes, and contemporary design in its kitchen, bathrooms, and living spaces. This significantly elevates the property's overall quality. The main house, built in 1953, has received updates such as newer windows, recessed lighting, and hardwood flooring, making its general living areas and bedrooms move-in ready and in good condition. However, the main house's kitchen and primary bathroom, while appearing clean and functional, exhibit dated styles (likely renovated 15-30 years ago) with older cabinetry, countertops, and tile work, placing them in the 'fair' category. The bonus converted unit also shows a mix of updated (kitchenette) and dated (bathroom) elements. Considering the substantial brand-new ADU and the significant updates to the main house, the property is largely move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required, aligning best with a 'Good' overall condition, despite some older stylistic elements in the original structure.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Income Generation: The property features multiple distinct living units (main house, brand-new ADU, converted bonus unit), offering significant potential for rental income or multi-generational living, maximizing investment return.
Modern, High-Value ADU: A newly constructed (2025) ADU boasts modern luxury, high-end finishes (premium Italian materials, designer touches), 10-foot ceilings, and a private entrance, adding substantial appeal and value to the property.
Sustainable & Cost-Efficient: Fully paid-off solar panels provide long-term energy savings and contribute to the property's environmental sustainability, a key selling point for modern buyers.
Flexible Living Solutions: The property's configuration supports diverse needs, from multi-generational families seeking independent living spaces to owner-occupants looking to offset mortgage costs with rental income.
Prime Accessibility: Strategically located near essential amenities including schools, shopping, dining, and major freeways, ensuring convenience and desirable lifestyle access for residents.

Cons

Age Disparity & Maintenance: The main house, built in 1953, is significantly older than the brand-new ADU, potentially implying differing maintenance requirements and an older aesthetic that may not appeal to all buyers seeking a fully modern property.
Unspecified Permitting for Converted Unit: The description mentions a 'bonus converted 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit' within the main house without clarifying if it's a permitted conversion, which could pose legal, insurance, or financing challenges for prospective buyers.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning (Main House): While the ADU is modern, the description for the 1953 main house does not mention central air conditioning, which could be a comfort drawback for some buyers, especially during warmer months in California.
