ADU Potential
Wide & shallow · Corner lot · ~102 ft frontage × 118 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
Small, older home using a low share of the allowable building envelope on a sizable lot — a scrape-and-rebuild or major-expansion play. Zoning allows roughly 4,304 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.
