This Historic Landmark Asset represents a High-Potential Investment Opportunity with a List Price of $2,498,998, positioned below the $2,517,682 Fair Market Value by 1%. While the Condition Rating of 5 necessitates a full interior rehab, the massive 17,424 sq ft lot and mature orchard offer unparalleled development potential for ADUs or a private compound. Located near major tech hubs and served by Cumberland Elementary (9/10), the property supports significant forced appreciation. This is a rare, strategic acquisition for Value-Add Investors or Developers.
Property is extensive renovation needed.
This historic landmark is over 50 years old and offered 'As-Is.' The kitchen is severely dated with mid-century tiling and cabinetry, and the single bathroom for a three-bedroom home is inadequate by modern standards. Given the age and 'As-Is' status, the property requires a full interior rehab and likely significant system updates.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 17424, living area = 1100.
Elementary School: Cumberland Elementary School (9/10).
The massive 17,424 sq ft lot is exceptionally rare for Sunnyvale, offering significant flexibility for ADU development, expansion, or creating a private compound in a prime location.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
The property's status as a City of Sunnyvale Historic Landmark may impose strict limitations on renovations, exterior modifications, and specific development possibilities that buyers must navigate.
With only 1,100 sq ft of living space and a single bathroom, the current configuration is significantly undersized for the $2.5M price point and will likely require substantial investment to modernize.
