I have not sold my residence due to the fact I would like to stay put for life. 5 acres is a privacy level I can't give up.

Usually, higher end neighborhoods are not interested in ADU's, as most buyers are wealthy enough to buy regular homes, plus they want the privacy.

If you want a vehicle for privacy check out living trusts.

small cost to accommodate,, put regular door knob on the master bedroom no need for privacy or locking knob on any bedroom doors, those are reserved for bathrooms only. storm door depending on what type of lock it is, I would try and have a non locking door, you could probably just remove the cylinder, all that door needs is to be able to be kept shut, it's not a entry door. 

I simply don't want applicants invading my privacy and asking about my finances.  

So, I decided that I liked it enough to put some money in the deal as well.Some of the repairs we made:Ripped out nasty carpet and installed new laminateRipped out sheet vinyl and installed new ceramic tileNew toilets and hardware in bathroomsInstalled new privacy fence where neededPainted entire interiorReplaced all baseboardsCleaned up flower beds and put pine straw inCut  down tree in back yard that was damaging the old fenceHad house and all concrete soft washedAdded CO monitorsLots and lots of cleaning...  

In this market I'd probably go ADU all the way if I didn't value my privacy so much.  

Only 1 section of fence appears and not on both sides in the back yard so there is not total privacy between neighbors.

To save time and energy I always encourage folks to drive by the place first (it's actually a pretty cute little yellow stucco house with a privacy fence) to "view the neighborhood". 

Anyone with as little as 3% interest in a company will have their privacy exposed. go to this link for more informationhttp://rentcourtmanager.diyrealty.co/blog/baltimore-city-bill-17-0013-landlordsIf you have rentals in Baltimore, please sign the petition on the page linked to above.
