AddressIntel AI Briefing
The lot is highly constrained with the existing home covering the entire site, which completely blocks the SB 9 lot split play. A stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU strategy is also severely restricted by the low ADU feasibility rating, making a simple interior cosmetic remodel the most practical play.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~39 ft frontage × 43 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 588 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 588 sqft here, less than the 1,510 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 12 recent single-family sales in Sunnyvale (94087): $1,782/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 1,500 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.
