AddressIntel AI Briefing
With an entry price of $4.5M, a luxury teardown is financially unfeasible as total build costs outpace net ARV. The optimal play is stealth density: primary + ADU + JADU to convert the existing remodeled structure into a cash-flowing compound. Demographics are highly favorable, ensuring elite tenant profiles.

Parcel & Zoning Info
ADU Potential
Standard lot · Corner lot · ~92 ft frontage × 138 ft deep, typical proportions for a detached ADU behind or beside the home. 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 3,277 sqft of gross floor area on this lot.

Proforma ROI Calculator
Back-of-the-napkin deal analysis across development strategies.
Zoning allows roughly 3,277 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 Saratoga (95070): $1,686/sqft. Sized within 25% of the 3,300 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.
