Size check
The listing's square footage against the county assessor's record and the permits on file.
The listing reports 231 sqft more than the county has on record, and no permit on file since 2017 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 Menlo Park permit record starts in 2017. Work permitted before then will not appear above.
AddressIntel AI Briefing
The optimal play is a teardown-and-mansionize development to capitalize on the massive gap between the entry price and size-matched local resales. Alternatively, stealth density via a primary plus ADU setup is highly supported by Menlo Park's active permit heat. This transition is well-suited for the highly-demanded neighborhood.

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 2,800 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 2,800 sqft on this lot, and the default builds to that envelope. The FAR figure is a discretionary-review trigger, not a hard cap.
Median of 12 recent single-family sales in Menlo Park (94025): $2,055/sqft, plus 5% because new houses sold at a median 1.07x their comps across 239 real rebuilds. Sized within 25% of the 2,800 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.
