THE HOME:
The ONLY home for sale in all of Torrance with a lot over 7,000 SF and under $1,500,000!! Also, the detached garage is 540 SF and would make a perfect ADU. *** If you combine a new ADU with the rear studio, the total living SF will be over 2,000 SF!! *** The private driveway inside the gate will fit a 45 foot RV! *** This charming, remodeled 3 bed 2 bath home has central AC! Move-in ready with a great combination of style and many upgrades. From the large front porch, you enter a fresh and airy living room with lots of natural light and gleaming original hardwood floors that flow throughout the main living space and two bedrooms. Custom archways take you to 3 spacious and bright bedrooms and two updated bathrooms. The primary bedroom features a custom wood paneled wall and a full bath that has a spa tub lined with new shower tile and granite countertops over lots of cabinet space. *** The kitchen has quartz counters, abundant cabinetry, soft-close drawers, updated appliances and contemporary finishes. Off the kitchen you will find a dining area with ample built-in storage and counter space. *** The third bedroom opens up to a sunlined entry room that leads to a charming backyard patio, extending your living space. *** The HUGE backyard is adorned with fruit trees (massive Orange tree!), covered patio and private driveway – the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings, relaxation, and play. This is a backyard that is just waiting for you to put your special touch for a wonderful oasis! In addition to the living space above, there is a 230 SF flex space attached to the garage that provides additional living, storage or office space. With private backyard access, this space is versatile and adaptable to many different needs.
THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Tucked away in the highly desirable Torrance Gardens neighborhood. The shaded front yard is the perfect spot to sit and relax under the mature weeping tree. Very close to an elementary school and park. The proximity to the renovated Del Amo Shopping Mall ensures that retail therapy, dining, and entertainment options are just a stone's throw away. Commute with easy access to the freeways. For beach lovers, the closeness to the coast provides endless opportunities for sun-soaked days and oceanfront adventures. For jetsetters: LAX is less than 30 mins away. Don't miss the opportunity to make this newly remodeled haven your own, combining comfort, style, and the perfect location.
