About This Home
Potential Vacant Possession Opportunity on Main House! Introducing a rare duplex compound situated on a massive third of an acre parcel (14,690 sq. ft.) in the Cherryland neighborhood of unincorporated Alameda County. Superbly located under half a mile to the Hayward BART station, this transit-oriented property features two fully detached single-family homes on one legal lotboth boasting newer roofs and separate gas and electric meters (only water is shared).The primary residence (21492 Montgomery Ave) is a spacious 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom home spanning 1,215 sq. ft. The secondary detached residence (938 Grove Way) features a functional 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom layout across 770 sq. ft. Both detached homes showcase functional floor plans, wood flooring, tile kitchen flooring, durable granite countertops, open-concept living/dining areas, and convenient indoor washer/dryer hookups.Both properties are currently occupied by cooperative tenants on month-to-month leases. The small house at 938 Grove Way is being sold as an active ongoing rental. For the main house, the seller has previously held informal move-out discussions with the tenant and is prepared to re-engage regarding formal move-out terms upon offer submission. This includes considering a 90-day post-closing rent-bank credit at closing. This potential path to vacant possession opens the door for both owner-occupants looking for a primary residence and savvy investors seeking flexible project timelines. Interested buyers are advised to include main house move-out terms as an explicit condition of their offer to initiate these formal discussions.The expansive lot footprint and local zoning provide a solid canvas for qualified buyers to explore potential development pathways. This includes a traditional minor subdivision / parcel map split to create two independent legal lots, subject to County approval. Alternatively, buyers can leverage progressive California ADU legislation to explore building up to two additional detached ADUs for long-term density expansion. The prime location under a half-mile to BART triggers powerful state exemptions, entirely eliminating standard off-street parking replacement mandates for future footprints.Property is sold strictly in its present as-is condition. Full pre-sale inspection reports and complete disclosure packages have been finalized and are available through your real estate agent for immediate review. Offers will be reviewed as received!
