This special 1940's Spanish style retreat is located on the coveted ocean side of Paterna Road in the Riviera's El Encanto district. Noted for its level streets and curved sidewalks lined with iconic sandstone walls along with underground utilities that provide seductive ocean, city & harbor views this is the American Riviera's most prestigious location. The home is a classic example of a D'Alfonso design & build as it showcases magical views from nearly every room and is built like a fortress. The level half acre of grounds includes inviting view terraces accessed from the public rooms along with a park-like south-facing back yard offering meandering paths, lush landscaping and supreme privacy.

RS-15
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.
