More Insights

Built in 1945 (81 years old).
Condition: The property features two units, both presenting in excellent condition.

The ADU is described as 'brand new' (built in 2025, implying recent completion) and also showcases a modern kitchen (grey shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, new range) and bathrooms with contemporary finishes. Both units have new wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and mini-split AC systems. All visible components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Potential: The property features two distinct residences (a main house and a brand new ADU), offering significant rental income opportunities or ideal multi-generational living arrangements.
Brand New, Energy-Efficient ADU: A newly constructed ADU (built 2025) with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms includes a paid-off solar panel system, ensuring modern comfort and substantial energy cost savings.
Extensively Remodeled Main House: The main 2-bedroom, 1-bath house has undergone a complete interior and exterior remodel, including new flooring, kitchen, bathroom, and paint, reducing immediate buyer expenses.
Excellent School District: Located within the highly-rated Temple City school district, appealing strongly to families seeking quality education and enhancing long-term property value.
Separate Utility Metering: Features two separate electric and gas meters, facilitating independent billing and management for the two units, which is crucial for rental properties.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1506, other record living area = 700. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 1.
Age of Main House Structure: While extensively remodeled, the main house was originally built in 1945, which may imply potential for older underlying structural components, plumbing, or electrical systems not covered by the recent cosmetic updates.
Shared Water/Sewer Meter: The property has only one water and sewer meter for both units, which could lead to complexities in bill allocation and potential disputes between residents if rented separately.
Uncertain JADU Conversion: The potential for converting the attached garage into a Junior ADU (JADU) is mentioned but requires city permits and further investigation, indicating it's not a guaranteed or immediate value-add without additional effort and cost.
