Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating ADU: The separate, modern Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) provides significant versatility for rental income, multi-generational living, or a private home office, greatly enhancing the property's value and appeal.
Extensive Modern Updates: Both the main residence and ADU feature thoughtful, modern updates including hardwood floors, smooth ceilings, recessed lighting, updated kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and contemporary finishes, offering a move-in-ready experience.
Energy Efficiency & Comfort: The main house is equipped with central AC and solar panels, providing modern comfort and potential cost savings on utilities, appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.
Desirable Lakewood Location: Centrally located in a quiet Lakewood neighborhood, offering convenient access to parks, schools, shopping, and freeways, making it attractive to a wide range of buyers.
Charming Curb Appeal & Ample Parking: Features attractive drought-tolerant landscaping, a private backyard oasis, and ample parking with a long driveway and garage, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Smaller Main House Square Footage: The main residence's 954 sqft is relatively compact, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive primary living space, despite the additional ADU.
Original Construction Age: Built in 1950, despite extensive updates, the underlying structure's age could raise concerns for some buyers regarding potential long-term maintenance or less modern foundational elements.
ADU Tenant Management: While an income generator, managing an ADU tenant can introduce responsibilities and potential complexities for the owner, which might not appeal to all buyers seeking a purely private residence.
