AddressIntel AI Briefing

The optimal play here is an SB 9 lot split into multiple units to monetize the oversized 19,525 sqft parcel while keeping the valuable 5,000 sqft remodeled primary home intact. This strategy avoids costly teardown fees, lacks hazard or zoning blockers, and leverages the neighborhood's affluent $232k+ median income demographics for an ultra-high ARV ceiling.
