PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- High Available Lot Utilization
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 467834, living area = 1191.
- Expansive Development Potential
The 10.74-acre property offers significant future expansion opportunities, including a large flat building pad for a second main house, eligibility for a 6,400 sq ft non-habitable structure, and the existing house's potential as an ADU.

Built with premium materials such as concrete masonry block walls for superior insulation, high-end double-pane windows/doors, a French clay tile roof, and luxury interior finishes including Carrara marble, travertine, granite countertops, and custom Knotty Alder cabinets.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Limited Primary Living Space
The existing house is relatively small at 1,191 sq ft with officially 1 bedroom, which may not meet the immediate needs of buyers seeking a larger primary residence on such an expansive parcel without additional construction.
- Significant Price Reductions
The property has undergone substantial price drops from its original list price of $1.25M to $845K, which could indicate initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially raising buyer concerns about its true market value.
