Renovated 3BR Reseda Home with ADU and Private Pool
This single-story Reseda property combines a substantially updated main house with a newly constructed accessory dwelling unit. The main residence provides 1,613 square feet of living area with three bedrooms and two bathrooms in a 1936 wood-frame structure that has been brought up to current standards. Significant interior work documented in public records and listing notes includes remodeled bathrooms (5x5 walk-in showers with rain shower heads), new electrical and plumbing systems, updated sewer lines, and enhanced insulation.
A brand-new 378‑square-foot ADU (one bedroom, one bathroom) sits on the 6,754‑square‑foot lot and is reported to have separate gas and electric meters, creating clear utility separation and rental flexibility. Outdoors the property features new front and back patios and a private swimming pool, while a detached two-car garage and driveway provide at least two covered parking spaces. The lot is level with roughly 50 feet of frontage on Nestle Avenue.
From an ownership and valuation perspective, records show an August 2024 sale for $899,900 and an assessed value of $899,900 for 2025. A recent sales-comparison valuation range estimates market value between $950,000 and $1,000,000 with a midpoint of $975,000; these estimates reflect nearby comparable sales and adjustments for the ADU, renovations, and lot characteristics. The property remains owner-occupied per tax records and mailing address matches the site address.
The property presents multiple use pathways: a primary home with on-site rental income from the ADU, or an investor strategy capturing dual rental streams. The research indicates an estimated monthly rent of about $4,500 for the full property (rent-per-sf ~2.79), with the ADU estimated to add roughly $1,500/month in separate income. Prospective buyers and investors should prioritize several verifications: confirm permit and entitlement records for the ADU and recent renovations, verify lot dimensions and boundaries, assess the mechanical condition of the pool and detached garage, and obtain a professional home inspection.
Overall, 7522 Nestle Avenue is positioned as an upgraded Reseda home with an income-capable ADU and outdoor amenities that broaden its appeal. The combination of modernized systems, a separate rental unit, and proximity to local parks, shopping, and schools supports both owner-occupant comfort and investor potential—subject to the recommended due diligence and permit confirmation.
