Property Description
Live Auction! Bidding to start from $1,000,000! In the heart of Old Mountain View, a rare opportunity awaits—a piece of local history and rock 'n' roll nostalgia. Welcome to the childhood home of Rodney Bingenheimer, legendary radio DJ and former host of Rodney on the ROQ, as well as the man behind the iconic L.A. nightclub, Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco. This charming single-story cottage features 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, nestled on a spacious lot just blocks from vibrant downtown Mountain View. If walls could talk, they'd tell stories of music, fame, and a bygone era of California cool. The home is midway through a full renovation—about 50% complete—offering a unique opportunity to finish it your way. The interior has been fully gutted, with ceilings and walls opened down to the framing, and the original wood-burning fireplace still anchoring the living room. Significant progress has already been made, including a brand-new roof and new rough-in plumbing and electrical systems. Outside, the blank-slate front and backyards offer endless possibilities—build an entertainer's dream garden, add an ADU, or create your private retreat. The detached single-car garage includes a loft space full of potential for future expansion or a creative studio. This one-of-a-kind property is ready for someone with vision. Will it be you?
