This property presents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $3,999,888—positioned well below the $3,973,668 Fair Market Value by -0.66%. While the home carries a Fair Condition Rating (5/10) and requires significant renovation, the expansive 1-acre lot and SB9 development eligibility provide substantial upside for forced appreciation. Featuring panoramic views and a spacious deck, this asset is ideal for Value-Add Investors or Developers looking to capitalize on the prime Saratoga location and versatile land utility.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1952, this 72-year-old property is well beyond the 30-year threshold for the 'poor' category. While the kitchen features some updates like quartz countertops and newer appliances, the exterior shows significant signs of age and deferred maintenance, including a heavily cracked driveway and a weathered deck. The listing's primary focus on SB9 development and 'customization' opportunities strongly indicates that the structure requires a total rehab or is being sold primarily for its 1-acre land value.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 46173, living area = 2188.
The sprawling 1-acre parcel and SB9 development eligibility offer rare versatility for expansion, customization, or multi-unit potential in a high-value Saratoga neighborhood.
Positioned on a peaceful private lane at the end of a cul-de-sac, the property provides exceptional seclusion and sweeping vistas from an expansive viewing deck.

Built in 1952, the home's original infrastructure and modest 2,188 square footage may require substantial renovation or a complete rebuild to align with the luxury standards of the surrounding area.
