18071 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road — Monte Sereno, CA New Luxury Residence with ADU | SB 9 Lot Split | Ph

Project Overview 18071 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road is the second of two new homes our team built on what was once a single half-acre property. We bought the original lot with an older home on it, split it into two parcels, and built a new luxury home on each. Its companion home next door is 18061 Saratoga-Los Gatos Road. The SB 9 Process This parcel was created through an urban lot split under California’s SB 9. That law allows a single-family lot to be divided into two parcels through a ministerial review against objective standards, without a discretionary public hearing. Our team handled the full process with the City of Monte Sereno. We coordinated the survey and parcel map, laid out the lots to meet SB 9’s size and setback standards, and set up independent access and utility services for this lot. The result was a parcel of about 9,600 SF, designed from the start to hold a full-size main home plus an accessory dwelling unit. The Home The home is about 4,332 SF, with four ensuite bedrooms, an office or fifth bedroom, four and a half bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. A private ADU adds flexible space for extended family, guests, or rental income, and a solar power system improves energy performance. Open-concept living areas, generous glazing, and high-end finishes run through the whole home.
