PRICE REDUCTION! Located in desirable Montecito Heights, this custom-built 1998 residence offers approximately 2,300 square feet of generous living space, views of Downtown Los Angeles and Dodger Stadium, and exceptional flexibility for today’s homeowner. One APN with three separate addresses of 598, 600, and 600 1/2 Montecito. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms overall—including a four-bedroom, two-bath main residence and an attached permitted one-bedroom, one-bath Jr. ADU—the property is well suited for growing families, multigenerational living, extended family, guests, or supplemental rental income. Originally constructed as a five-bedroom, three-bath home, one of the larger bedrooms and one bathroom were later converted into the Jr. ADU. The main residence continues to offer four well-sized bedrooms, including a particularly spacious bedroom on the entry level and three additional comfortable bedrooms. The generous room sizes provide living space that can be difficult to find in many newer homes. The attached Jr. ADU offers a level of independence that distinguishes it from many similar properties. It has its own address, separate entrance, and separate water and electrical meters, allowing the homeowner and occupant to manage their utilities independently without estimating or dividing usage. This makes the space especially practical for aging parents, adult children, a live-in caregiver, long-term guests, or a tenant. The home retains much of its original 1998 character and offers the next owner an opportunity to update the finishes gradually according to their own taste and budget. Its substantial living space, large bedrooms, views, and permitted Jr. ADU can be enjoyed while improvements are completed over time. The unfinished additional lower-level space with separate exterior access, address, and utilities, provides further possibilities for future customization or expansion, subject to buyer investigation and applicable approvals. Construction was halted several years ago due to the owner's passing, and the space is in various stages of approvals with the City. Whether envisioned as a spacious primary residence, a multigenerational home, or a property offering both personal use and supplemental income, this Montecito Heights home presents a unique opportunity to create something special while benefiting from the space and flexibility already in place. Property is ideal for BOTH a flipper as well as owner-occupier. Won't last long!
