Selling a home with an ADU

We are thinking about selling our home that has a legal ADU downstairs (complete with a full kitchen). Being in the red hot Seattle real estate market, I thought I would ask you professionals if it's better to put some money into a kitchen remodel upstairs and sell the house so that the buyer would have the upstairs unit to live in and 1 to rent downstairs or to convert the upstairs kitchen into a bedroom… making the house a 4 bedroom 2 bath? What is more desirable? Homes with an ADU must be owner occupied. At the prices houses are selling for, I'm just curious if people would pay a ton of money for a house they would share with others in an ADU situation. Thanks for any input!

I would keep the ADU. A lot of buyers would like your house with the set up it is on right now
