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 or may be subdivided and developed into a single-family home or an ADU, subject to planning and building requirements, and Town approval (Buyer to verify). The Property is also served by the Los Gatos Union School District (K8) and the Los GatosSaratoga Joint Union High School District (912). The site is surrounded by strong trade-area demographics and local amenities, with excellent access to major freeways. Los Gatos is home to a quaint, thriving downtown central business district featuring boutique shops, retailers, and range of restaurant options. There are many outdoor open-space options, such as Oak Meadow Park, Vasona Lake County Park, Los Gatos Creek Trail, and the El Sereno Open Space Preserve. Los Gatos is a wonderful place to live and raise a family. *Buyer to verify all listed information. See supplements for OM and Historic Covenant.
