About This Home

As of December 2019

House was build in 1945 and then remodeled with permits in 1995 increasing the square footage to about 1800 sf. In 2000 the garage ( 450 sf) was converted into additional living space with permits adding a bathroom, kitchen area, laundry and shower. The detached living unit could easily be approved as an ADU. The current owner has not occupied the unit and not sought an ADU permit from Los Gatos. The ADU permit process in LG is not complicated or too expensive. The detached unit has great rental potential as an ADU.
