Tucked along one of the Westside's most storybook streets, this charming 1929 California cottage feels as though it belongs in a classic film. Pride of ownership radiates throughout the neighborhood, where beautifully maintained homes, colorful blooming gardens, and neighbors gathered in conversation create a rare and genuine sense of community. Tree-lined sidewalks, glimpses of the mountains, and the warmth of a close-knit street make this setting truly special. Lovingly held by the same family for more than 40 years, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is filled with character and timeless appeal. Original hardwood floors, a vintage tiled kitchen, and abundant natural light preserve the home's old-world soul, while updated dual-pane windows provide modern comfort without sacrificing charm. Set on a spacious and private-feeling lot, the property also features a detached garage with exciting potential for a future ADU, guest house, studio, or creative retreat. Rich with authenticity and opportunity, this beloved cottage is ready for its next steward to thoughtfully restore and reimagine her original glory for years to come.

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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
