Recently refreshed while keeping its original character, this gem of a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home is tucked in the quaint Samarkand neighborhood on Serena Road. This charming opportunity is ready for occupancy, or to be reimagined, and features beautiful hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, garage, and recently replaced roof, set on a generous 0.19 acre lot with underground utilities that may have ADU potential. A Walk Score of 87 highlights the proximity to the vibrant upper De La Vina corridor, Trader Joe's, Handlebar Coffee Roasters, Los Agaves, MacKenzie Park, the Old Mission, hiking trails, and more.

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.
