About this property
An exceptional opportunity in a desirable Whittier neighborhood - a single family residence with a detached ADU! This beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 1-bath residence (1,052 sq ft, built 1950) sits on a generous 7,660 sq ft corner lot and features an updated kitchen and bath, central A/C, and solar panels powering both units for substantial energy savings. A remote-control gate offers privacy and leads to a 2-car garage. Across the lot sits the true standout: a permitted, separately addressed detached ADU – 848 sq ft with 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, its own kitchen, in-unit washer/dryer, central A/C, and waterproof laminate flooring. Best of all, the ADU is already leased for $3,450/month, delivering immediate turn-key cash flow to offset your mortgage from day one. Perfectly situated near Whittwood Town Center, schools, parks, and freeway access—ideal for savvy investors or buyers seeking multigenerational flexibility with built-in income.

Assumes equal monthly payments on a fully amortizing fixed-rate loan; no adjustable rates, interest-only periods or balloon payments. Excludes closing costs, utilities, maintenance, special assessments and other unentered costs. Actual payments and escrow can differ. Review a Loan Estimate with your lender.
