More Insights
Built in 1925 (100 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1925, the property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, as explicitly stated in the description ('upgraded to perfection' with 'designer finishes throughout') and clearly depicted in the images. The detached ADU was built in 2020, falling well within the 'extensively renovated within 5 years' criteria. Both the main house and ADU feature modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, shaker cabinets, and custom tile backsplashes. Bathrooms are fully updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tile work. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is consistent throughout, and modern mini-split AC units provide efficient cooling/heating. All components appear new or virtually new, reflecting current quality standards and showing no signs of deferred maintenance.

About this home
Price now slashed: seller says bring the offer - $55k off! Welcome to an income-ready Normal Heights home with ADU and substantial upside. The main house is upgraded to perfection: luxury vinyl plank floors, quartz island, custom tile backsplash, soft-tone shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, dual-pane windows, and designer finishes throughout. Tucked in the backyard is a separate 300?sf detached ADU (built 2020) with its own access, kitchen, bath, and parking—ready for passive income or guest lodging. R-3 zoning allows for up to three units, and the main home can easily revert from its current 1-bedroom+J-ADU configuration back to 2 bedrooms + ADU. With a fully fenced level lot, six off-street parking spaces, and proximity to shops, coffee, parks, and schools, this property merges cash flow, flexibility, and urban convenience—all under one roof.
