Sweet home almost directly across from Jacoby Creek School in Bayside. This beautiful, open and light home has three bedrooms, a kitchen, dining area and living room upstairs and a large family room, bathroom, and laundry room downstairs. The family room has been and can be used as a fourth bedroom and has a kitchenette. There are oak wood floors in the main part of the house and laminate floors in the bedrooms. It is a long, deep lot with tons of potential, and large plants and trees provide privacy from the street. This is an excellent opportunity to live slightly out of town and still walk to the cafe a couple doors down and to live in one of the most desirable school districts in the county.

RVL
NCA
Residential-Very Low Density District
The RVL zoning district is applied to areas where physical constraints, the protection of natural features, or the preservation of semi-rural character have been identified by the General Plan as important considerations. The RVL zoning district is primarily applied to areas with steep slopes, and where the General Plan intends that the open space character of the City’s hillsides and perimeter lands are to be preserved. Individual homesites are allowed in hillside areas, as long as precautions are taken to prevent the excessive removal of vegetation, and strict grading controls are enforced to prevent erosion (see Chapter 9.52 for hillside development standards). The allowable density is two or fewer primary dwellings per acre. The RVL zoning district is consistent with and implements the Residential - Very Low Density land use classification of the General Plan.
