The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU on this spacious 8,276 sqft lot. While an SB 9 lot split is legally eligible, tight single-family development margins make preserving the existing 1937 structure and adding secondary units the lowest-risk approach.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~107 ft frontage × 126 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
Meaningful unused floor-area headroom under current zoning, room to add square footage. Zoning allows roughly 3,724 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap. Treat as approximate.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 3,724 sqft on this lot, and the default builds to that envelope. The FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in San Jose (95125): $1,052/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 3,700 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.
Projected Profit
