The property features two distinct parcels with approved entitlements for subdivision, offering buyers the rare ability to sell the front lot separately, redevelop the rear, or hold for long-term appreciation.
Situated on one of the three largest residential lots in the area, this property commands a premium due to its high walkability to local restaurants, retail, and the weekly farmers market.
While entitlements are approved at the city level, final county recordation is still required, placing the burden of final legal processing on the buyer.
