Nestled in a tranquil neighborhood and boasting a timeless charm, this ranch-style gem, constructed in 1961, offers a cozy retreat for downsizers or new home buyers alike. With a modest footprint of just 1158 square feet, perfectly suited for those seeking a comfortable abode without the burden of excessive space. Set on a sprawling 0.78-acre lot, the property features a beautifully maintained yard, complete with a flat, fenced expanse of lush grass and a covered cement front patio, ideal for enjoying the outdoors in privacy and serenity. Inside, the home greets you with its distinctive open beam construction, adding character to the inviting interior. Also noteworthy is the inclusion of RV parking with utility hookups, offering flexibility for additional parking of RVs or trailers, while presenting the opportunity for future expansion with the potential construction of another home on the premises. Complementing this, a detached shed in the backyard provides added storage space, enhancing the practicality of the property. Despite its tranquil setting, this home remains remarkably close to major shopping centers and Highway 50, within a mere 5-minute drive.

R1A
One-Acre Residential Zone
The R1A, One-acre Residential Zone, is used to create a more dispersed suburban residential character to an area by providing for and regulating medium density residential development at the highest range of one dwelling unit per acre. Accessory structures and uses and low-intensity commercial agricultural pursuits (crop lands, orchards, raising and grazing of domestic farm animals) are considered compatible with this zone. This zone is applicable to lands designated as Medium Density Residential (MDR) in the General Plan and may be applied to High Density Residential lands where infrastructure to serve higher densities is not yet available.
