About this home

We found 3 Cons,5 Pros. Rank: price - $1000.0K(15th), sqft - 1372(13th), beds - 3(50th), baths - 2(47th).

This beautifully updated, 3 bed, 2 bath, 1372 sq ft, 1940s bungalow with detached 2 bed, 1 bath, 710 sq ft Guesthouse/ADU (without permits), & separate 2-car garage, sits in a quiet residential neighborhood in the heart of Valley Glen. Lots of possibilities! Blending vintage appeal & modern convenience, the house boasts a newer AC, raised foundation, hardwood floors, decorative wood siding, & covered front porch, while a wide driveway with an RV/car gate provides access to the detached 2-car garage. Enter directly into a spacious, light-filled living room with a large picture window. A graceful archway connects the living & dining area seamlessly. The kitchen boasts a sleek, black & white aesthetic with recessed lighting, tile floors, white cabinets, a white tile backsplash, black granite counters, black appliances, & back door leading to the yard. Down the hall is a freshly updated ¾ bath with new counter, mirror & shower enclosure & an extra-large laundry room for added utility & storage. Two good-sized bedrooms share the hall bath while a sizable primary suite has brand new carpet, as well as dual walk-in closets, a glass slider to the yard, & an en-suite bath with new flooring, mirror, light fixture, counter, & faucet. Storage abounds throughout the house with closets, linen cabinets, a pantry, & the garage, making the most of the space! The spacious backyard includes several patio areas, walkways, a lawn, a mature shade tree, & abundant fruit trees allowing you to take advantage of fresh produce, better than a farmer’s market, just out your back door. A detached guest house adds versatility with an open-concept great room combining kitchen, dining, & living areas. The two guesthouse bedrooms both have mirrored closets & ceiling fans & share access to a full hall bath. The guest house has its own heater, AC, water heater, & storage shed, making it a perfect space as an ADU or casita, studio space, a home office, gym, or really, whatever you can imagine. A detached 2-car garage provides space for parking & storage. Take advantage of the R2 zoning in the area to further develop the property, utilize the existing guest house, or convert the detached garage to an additional ADU space, all to add additional means of income to the property. The home is well situated near to shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, & major transportation routes. Don’t miss the opportunity to tailor the space to suit your needs & make this your new home!

Condition Rating
Good

The property, built in 1944, has undergone significant recent updates in the main house, including a newer AC, hardwood floors, brand new carpet, and freshly updated bathrooms with new fixtures and finishes. The main house kitchen is described as sleek and modern. While the main house appears to be in excellent, move-in ready condition, the detached guest house (ADU) features an older-style kitchen with basic wood cabinets and appliances, which prevents the entire property from being classified as 'Excellent' where all components are virtually new. Overall, it is a well-maintained and highly functional property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Significant Income Potential & Versatility: Features a detached 2-bed/1-bath guesthouse/ADU and R2 zoning, offering substantial rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living arrangements, with further ADU conversion possibilities for the garage.
Extensively Updated Main Residence: The main house boasts recent updates including a newer AC, raised foundation, hardwood floors, a sleek black & white kitchen with granite counters, and updated bathrooms, blending vintage charm with modern comfort.
Spacious & Well-Utilized Layout: The property offers a functional floor plan with a light-filled living area, ample storage throughout, an extra-large laundry room, and a primary suite with dual walk-in closets.
Desirable Outdoor Living Space: A large, private backyard features multiple patio areas, a lawn, a mature shade tree, and abundant fruit trees, providing excellent opportunities for outdoor enjoyment and fresh produce.
Prime & Convenient Location: Located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Valley Glen, offering easy access to shopping, dining, entertainment, recreation, and major transportation routes.

Cons

Unpermitted Guesthouse/ADU: The detached guesthouse is explicitly noted as 'without permits,' which presents a legal and financial risk, requiring the buyer to undertake the permitting process for legalization or face potential issues.
Age of Original Structure: Built in 1944, despite updates, the property's age may lead to potential hidden issues with original systems or infrastructure that were not part of the recent cosmetic renovations.
Additional Investment for Full Potential: While R2 zoning allows for further development (e.g., garage ADU conversion), realizing this income potential requires significant additional investment, time, and navigating the permitting process.
