A separate living area with its own kitchen and bathrooms provides flexibility for rental income, multi-unit use, or phased redevelopment. A detached casita near the pool and spa further enhances the property’s adaptability for ADU use, creative space, or additional income stream.Set above the street and accessed by approximately 70 stairs, the site offers privacy and scale rarely found in this location.
