Welcome to this highly desirable Upper Riviera location with jaw dropping ocean, Island and city views. This property consists of three bedrooms and three bathrooms, a family room & sunroom. The house can use some updating & remodeling & there is more than enough room for potential additions. The main level features wood floors, a fireplace, a large view deck, & inviting living and dining rooms, in addition to the primary & secondary bedroom & two baths. Situated on a mostly usable .36 acre with beautiful mature landscaping & colorful planting, the property offers plenty of parking, which is an invaluable asset on the Riviera. It's worth noting that properties like this are rarely available, and the fact that this home hasn't been on the market for over 30 years adds to its desirability.

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.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Agriculture
Livestock production
Garden center
Housing-Group
Housing-Single unit
