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.

Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1925, the property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, as described by 'upgraded to perfection' and 'designer finishes throughout'. The detached ADU was built in 2020, making it virtually new. Both the main house and ADU feature modern kitchens with stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, soft-tone shaker cabinets, and stylish backsplashes. Bathrooms are fully updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and marble-look tiling. Luxury vinyl plank flooring is consistent throughout, and modern mini-split AC units provide efficient cooling/heating. All components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating ADU & Zoning: Features a modern, detached ADU (built 2020) with separate amenities, ideal for passive income or guest lodging. R-3 zoning offers significant upside potential for additional units.
Extensively Upgraded Main House: The main residence boasts high-quality renovations including luxury vinyl plank floors, quartz island, stainless steel appliances, dual-pane windows, and designer finishes throughout.
Prime Urban Location: Situated in the desirable Normal Heights/Kensington area, providing excellent walkability and proximity to shops, cafes, parks, and highly-rated schools.
Flexible Layout & Configuration: The main home's layout can easily convert from a 1-bedroom + J-ADU to a 2-bedroom + ADU, offering versatility for different living arrangements or rental strategies.
Abundant Off-Street Parking: Offers six dedicated off-street parking spaces, a rare and valuable amenity in a dense urban neighborhood.
Cons
Compact Living Space & Lot Size: With a total of 930 sqft and a small lot of 2347 sqft, the property offers limited interior and exterior space, which may not suit all buyer needs.
Listing Price Above Estimated Value: The current list price is 7% higher than the property's estimated market value, potentially indicating an aggressive pricing strategy or a need for further price adjustment to align with market expectations.
Older Home Infrastructure: While extensively upgraded, the main house was built in 1925, meaning some underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) could still be original or require future attention, despite cosmetic improvements.
