The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU to exploit the extremely low 20% lot coverage and add rental units. While an SB 9 lot split is legally eligible with no environmental blockers, the small 4,600 sqft lot size makes a physical split highly constrained. Adding accessory units maintains the main structure while maximizing density.

ADU Potential
Flag / irregular · ~108 ft frontage × 112 ft deep, a tucked-away rear unit is very private; access is typically via the pole driveway.
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.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Redwood City (94061): $1,382/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 1,400 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.
