Description
4 Tait Avenue (APN #510-44-054), Los Gatos, is a ~0.28-acre parcel that includes a ~2,525 SF historic building, originally built in the early 1900s as the Towns Firehouse and later used as a museum. There is also an adjoining surface parking lot with a small utility structure. The Property is currently zoned C-2:LHP Central Business District/Landmark & Historic Preservation Overlay. However, the Los Gatos Town Council recently approved rezoning the Property to R-1D/LHP (Single-Family Residential Downtown/Landmark & Historic Preservation Overlay with a Medium Density Residential Land Use Designation) to allow a residential use consistent with the character of the nearby neighborhoods. The R-1D: LHP zoning is expected to take effect on March 4, 2026. Additionally, improvements or alterations to the Firehouse/Museum building and property will be subject to the attached Los Gatos Historic Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, which will run with the land. Buyers should carefully read the Historic Covenant and Restrictions before submitting an offer. The Firehouse/Museum presently features a large conference room, a fully enclosed, converted garage, and two additional open-space rooms. The building has a one-half bathroom, a kitchen/breakroom (no appliances), and possibly a washer hookup in a small room off the conference room. The interior space of the Firehouse may require a Town approved plan to convert the building into a single-family residential unit. Also, the adjoining surface parking lot, including the small utility structure, may support the development of an ADU
