FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES ONLY! One of the first homes built on the upper Riviera in the late 1920’s, 1707 Paterna Road blends romantic, vintage charm with relaxed living. Situated on a gentle, sunny slope and secluded within a sanctuary of mature hedges, the villa-style residence offers a private hillside haven. The sprawling property welcomes guests with a Mediterranean style stucco façade surrounded by a mélange of lush greenery and outfitted with a vintage, red tile covered portico. Step inside the front door and you’re greeted by a mosaic tile entryway and an expansive living room that offers bright, natural light, tall ceilings, and generous windows that frame panoramic views of ocean, harbor, and islands. The enchanting 1920s home has been lovingly restored, yet still evokes uniquely nostalgic period charm featuring vintage hardware, original oak floors, claw foot tub, and pedestal sinks. Within the 3,340 square foot residence, spacious rooms are beautifully contained, yet flow seamlessly from one airy room to another. Spanning both first and second floors, four sun-soaked bedrooms are appointed with sizable windows, and French doors adorn the master bedroom, living room, and office. Step beyond the office's French doors and you'll be met with a spacious, covered veranda that's ripe for al fresco entertaining. Beyond the patio, an extensive yard gives way to a private, fairytale garden. Meandering pathways twist through the flourishing garden dotted with grapefruit, lemon, tangerine, peach, apricot, plum, fig, avocado, persimmon, and olive trees, fragrant roses, drought resistant succulents, and decades-old oak trees.

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.
