Condition Rating
Tear down
The property was built in 1956, making it over 50 years old. The listing description explicitly states it's an 'Incredible opportunity to build 4 detached homes' and the property analysis identifies the 'Existing Structure as a Tear-Down,' indicating the value is in the land for redevelopment rather than the current residence. There are no images of the existing structure, only conceptual plans for new construction, reinforcing that the current home is not considered habitable or valuable in its present state.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Development Opportunity: The property offers a rare chance to build four detached homes on a substantial 10,480 sqft lot, with conceptual plans already provided, maximizing its potential for profit in a high-demand area.
Premier Downtown Mountain View Location: Situated just one block from downtown Mountain View and Caltrain, providing unparalleled access to amenities, dining, and public transportation, making it highly attractive for future residents.
Proximity to Tech Hubs: Located minutes from Google and other major tech employers, ensuring a strong and consistent demand for housing from a high-income demographic.
Large & Versatile Lot: The generous 10,480 sqft lot size is ideal for multi-unit development, offering flexibility in design and maximizing the number of units that can be built.
Strong Market Demand: Positioned in one of Silicon Valley's most desirable and sought-after infill locations, guaranteeing robust interest from builders and future homeowners.
Cons
Existing Structure as a Tear-Down: The 1956-built, 2-bed, 1-bath existing residence is likely considered a tear-down for the proposed development, incurring demolition costs and not contributing significant value to the project.
Significant Capital Investment Required: The property represents a land acquisition for development, necessitating a substantial initial investment for construction, permits, and associated development costs beyond the purchase price.
Complex Permitting Process: While conceptual plans are provided, navigating the full permitting and regulatory approval process for a four-unit development can be time-consuming and complex, potentially leading to delays and unforeseen expenses.
