Size check
The listing's square footage against the county assessor's record and the permits on file.
The listing reports 455 sqft more than the county has on record, and no permit on file since 2026 added floor area.
What can explain a difference
- Space built without a permit.
- Permitted work the assessor has not recorded yet.
- An ADU, a finished basement or a converted garage counted in one figure and not the other.
- Different measuring. Listing agents and the assessor often measure the same house differently.
Our Belmont permit record starts in 2026. Work permitted before then will not appear above.
AddressIntel AI Briefing
Due to the high lot coverage, the optimal play is stealth density via primary home preservation and accessory dwelling unit addition rather than a full teardown. This approach works around the tight physical constraints of the lot while taking advantage of local demographics. The absence of local hazard zones ensures that any additional construction will face fewer engineering hurdles.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Flag / irregular · Corner lot · ~87 ft frontage × 127 ft deep, a tucked-away rear unit is very private; access is typically via the pole driveway. 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 2,330 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
Screening estimate comparing existing living area to the city's single-family floor-area limit. City sets no explicit FAR (or is not individually curated); allowable area is a conservative estimate. Source: Belmont Zoning Ordinance 4.2.3(d) Table 5 (Lot Size/Intensity) as a CAP on the default estimate; Table 4 slope FAR NOT applied, no per-parcel slope available (as of 2026-09-03). Verify FAR, coverage, setbacks, and height with the local planning dept.

Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 2,330 sqft here, less than the 2,895 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 Belmont (94002): $1,214/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 2,900 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.
Interest on the purchase price for the whole project plus half the build budget, since construction draws ramp up. The default is 7% over 33 months, the median purchase-to-sale time of 239 real Peninsula and South Bay rebuilds. Set the rate to 0 for a cash purchase, or use your own lender's terms.
