Quick Glance: Elon Musk and Tesla: Influence of CEO's divisive behavior on company's challenges

latimes.com/california/story/2024-04-19/tiny-cupertino-home-is-selling-for-over-1-7-million
Quick Glance: Tiny Cupertino Home with Large Yard Sells for Over $1.7 Million
- A home in Cupertino, California, measuring less than 400 square feet is making headlines nationwide with a surprising asking price of over $1.7 million. The small one-bedroom, one-bathroom home is likened to a hotel room, too small for a regular refrigerator or stove in the kitchen.
- The property received eight offers, all above the asking price, with the winning bidder expected to close the deal in May. The bulk of the property's value, according to co-listing agent Perez, lies in the land, offering potential for expansions or new constructions.
- The home's location at the end of a cul-de-sac, near hiking trails and Silicon Valley's tech hubs, is crucial. Its proximity to the Los Altos Hills border, where property values start at an estimated $5 million, positively impacts surrounding communities. Cupertino city permits the owner to build a home exceeding 3,600 square feet.
- Originally used as a hunting cabin, the house was built brick by brick in the 1940s by the family currently selling it. While the final sale price remains undisclosed, it is confirmed to be selling for "considerably over asking."
