An exceptional opportunity to build on one of San Carlos' more builder-friendly hillside parcels. Unlike many hillside lots that require stacked three-story designs and extensive excavation, this unique property offers a broad, level building area accessed by an existing paved driveway (outlined in red in the photos). The lot's rectangular configuration runs parallel to Madera, creating a wider building envelope rather than a narrow footprint that climbs the slope. This distinctive layout provides the potential for a more efficient two-story home with wider floor plans, improved functionality, and the opportunity to maximize the sweeping easterly and Bay views. The existing access and favorable topography can simplify site planning while reducing the challenges often associated with hillside construction. Ideally located just a few minutes from downtown San Carlos, the property offers the perfect balance of convenience, privacy, and a peaceful natural setting.
