Together, the main residence and ADU provide approximately 3,439 SF of living space and multiple opportunities for rental income, multigenerational occupancy, staff housing, or business operations. One of the property's strongest investment features is its reported current license for a 12-person alcohol and drug rehabilitation/recovery facility, creating a unique opportunity for qualified operators seeking an established location for behavioral health, recovery, transitional, or related residential services.

Another significant upside is future development potential.

The property also offers expansive outdoor areas, covered patio space, a fountain, and an approximately 1,300 SF rooftop terrace, providing additional usable space for residents, tenants, clients, staff, recreation, or gatherings. Multiple investment scenarios include operating the property as a licensed recovery facility, leasing the main residence and ADU separately, creating a multigenerational or corporate housing property, combining residential and administrative uses, or pursuing future development of a third residence. With extensive renovations already completed, a separate ADU, large gated lot, substantial parking, special-use potential, and additional development possibilities, 1213 S California Avenue presents a rare opportunity for investors and operators seeking flexibility, income potential, and long-term upside in Monrovia.
