Tucked into a cul-de-sac within the charming enclave of Old Torrance, this meticulously maintained single-family residence blends Craftsman character with modern comfort. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout is complemented by a flexible bonus space with an additional bathroom, ideal for today’s evolving lifestyle. The kitchen was recently taken down to the studs and thoughtfully reimagined, allowing you to move in without any work required. Some of the many upgrades include newly added air conditioning, updated electrical panels, new stainless steel appliances, brand-new roof and siding, and improved drainage at both the front and rear of the home. Abundant natural light fills the space, while fresh landscaping enhances curb appeal. Enjoy a private backyard perfect for outdoor dining, along with additional storage space and a detached garage. A wonderful opportunity to experience classic neighborhood charm paired with thoughtful modern improvements, all just moments from historic Downtown Old Torrance, local parks, dining, shopping, and within the highly regarded Torrance Unified School District.
