This extraordinary property combines all the charm and character of a historic, D'Alfonso-designed, Spanish-style home, with a beautifully updated and sophisticated, contemporary interior. The floor plan is open, with one light-filled room flowing into another. The spectacular, 2-story Family Room, includes a loft-level office and library. Picture windows frame views of the lovely, painterly landscaping - amazing to find such a private and peaceful garden, in the heart of the City! The garden was designed by a celebrated artist, and the compositions he created, of plant shapes and shades, are truly spectacular. French doors, from several rooms, lead out to a terrace that runs the full length of the house, with defined seating and dining areas and an outdoor kitchen, to seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. There are three bedrooms, including a magnificent master suite with a stunning, luxurious bathroom. The third bedroom and bath suite, situated on the lower floor, has a separate entrance, and makes ideal guest or caregiver's quarters. Located in a quiet enclave of architecturally significant homes, within walking distance of shops, restaurants and cultural amenities, this is a rare and very special offering.

RS-6
One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
