Property Description

A premier opportunity in prime Midtown, this expansive parcel of 12,759 sq. ft. (per survey) offers multiple possible uses such as building your dream home with an accompanying ADU, renting out the two existing homes for a consistent stream of income, or holding it as a land bank, as this size lot rarely becomes available in such an excellent location! Walking distance to Midtown Shopping Center, Hoover Park, and El Carmelo Elementary. Mere minutes to Mitchell Park's library, tennis, and pickleball courts, Cubberley Community Center's Mandarin bilingual programs and a multitude of extracurricular activities. California Avenue, Caltrain, and Stanford, are also close by, making this location hard to beat. The front home offers 2 bedrooms, 1 den, and 1 bath in 1,143 sq. ft. The rear home offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in 1,279 sq. ft. (both per appraisal). A detached garage offers extra storage space. Rarely does such an opportune property come along with this much potential.
