Rare Gem in Monterey Park! Main House + Newly Converted ADU + Bonus Basement: versatile property tucked away on a super peaceful street steps from neighborhood parks, playgrounds, and the Edison Trail. This unique home offers a perfect blend of modern comfort, multi-generational living, and outstanding income potential. Main House: open layout with 2 bedrooms and 2 fully updated bathrooms. The chef-inspired, remodeled kitchen is equipped with a wine cooler, a stainless steel farmhouse sink, and a 6-burner professional cooktop—complete with a convenient pot filler faucet right over the stove for your convenience! Fully permitted ADU (2024 Garage Conversion) 1-bed, 1-bath unit features a full kitchen with abundant cabinets, in-unit stackable washer/dryer, two mini split A/C units to keep the entire space cool—perfect as a high-value rental, in-law suite, or private guest house. Courtyard Oasis: Positioned between the main home and the ADU, this charming central courtyard is equipped with a outdoor misting system to keep you cool on hot summer days. Perfect for morning coffee, weekend BBQs, or outdoor lounging—with plenty of room to build your dream outdoor kitchen! Plus, the spacious backyard gives you tons of room to plant your own garden or grow homegrown produce. Bonus Basement: Extra space! The finished basement includes 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath, offering endless options for guests, extended family, or a media/recreation room. The entire property includes a whole-house water softener system for luxury and comfort throughout. Features both central A/C AND 6 individual mini-split A/C units throughout the property. You get the best of both worlds: turn on individual splits to cool targeted zones and save on electricity, or use the central A/C to cool the entire house instantly.

Parks & Fun: Edison Trail, playground, and the park are just around the corner; Barnes Park and the George Elder Park public pool are just minutes away.
