So much for THAT deed restriction

The 900 sq. ft. cottage at 19 Lakeview Drive (Riverside NoPo) was listed for $2.375 million in 2022, but, though it sat on one acre in the R-12 zone, the listing admitted that “Deed Restriction = one house”. That limited its value somewhat, and it finally sold in 2023 for $1.9 million. Those buyers must have found a way to break the restriction scheme, because an 0.24 portion of the property has just been listed at $1.550.
