The mid-century architecture is cool and the circa 2017 country-chic remodeling creates cozy rooms and lovely flow patterns. The gardens, patios, and fruit trees seem to be incorporated into the home's floor plan, supporting a fun indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The remodeled kitchen connects to the patio and its large dining nook opens to the guest parking access to the garage. The hardwood flooring provides a richness that is intimate and immediate. The baths are remodeled retro, including towel warmers, old-school tiling, and a steam shower. Living with this Mountain View is special! Being able to walk one of the most picturesque streets in town as you set out to eateries, shops, and parks is delicious.

RS-7.5
USS
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.
