Stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU is the only viable route to extract additional yield on this property, given that the current asking price exceeds projected new build values. Furthermore, liquefaction hazards must be addressed during any physical site expansions.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~98 ft frontage × 108 ft deep, limited depth, an ADU likely sits beside the house rather than behind it. A second street frontage lets an ADU take its own entrance and address.
Screening heuristic based on lot size, existing coverage, lot orientation, and hazard overlays. CA ADU law is ministerial statewide; verify max size, setbacks, and JADU owner-occupancy with the local planning dept.
Redevelopment Potential
Existing home already uses most of the allowable floor area, little expansion headroom. Zoning allows roughly 2,999 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR rule curated from current municipal code. Source: Mountain View Zoning Ord. Ch. 36 (R1 Handbook) (as of 2026-06-30). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 2,999 sqft here, less than the 3,463 sqft standing today, so a compliant rebuild would be smaller than the existing house. We don't quote a return on this one. Demolishing generally forfeits the existing non-conforming floor area, so treat it as a remodel or check the local code for what it lets you rebuild.
Median of 3 recent single-family sales in Mountain View (94043): $1,412/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 3,500 sqft build, because smaller houses sell for more per foot and pricing a rebuild off them overstates resale.
Commission, transfer tax and closing. Deducted from resale before profit, so the ROI below is net of the exit rather than gross.
Carry on total capital for the project duration. At 0% the model is a cash purchase; 12 months at a typical construction-loan rate moves ROI by 6 to 10 points on a deal this size, so price it with your real rate.
