Set on an expansive nearly 9,000 square foot lot in the heart of Torrance, 816 Faysmith Ave offers a rare opportunity to reimagine, expand, or create something entirely your own. Whether you’re an investor or a buyer with vision, this property provides a strong foundation in a highly desirable location.
The home currently features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a flexible layout that was originally designed as a 3-bedroom—offering the option to easily convert back if desired. The main living and kitchen areas flow into a large enclosed patio, creating additional usable space and a connection to the outdoors.
The backyard is a standout, with a fully operational pool and plenty of room to design your ideal outdoor setting. A freestanding pool house with fireplace adds a unique element with potential for entertaining, a studio, or future repurposing. The detached 2-car garage and generous lot size further enhance the property’s flexibility for future plans.
Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in central Torrance, the home is just minutes from Del Amo Fashion Center, award-winning schools, parks, and dining, offering both convenience and long-term value.
This is a compelling opportunity to bring your vision to life on a large lot in one of the South Bay’s most established neighborhoods.
