Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is exceptionally well-maintained with high-value infrastructure upgrades including a 200-amp electrical panel, central HVAC, dual-glazed windows, and a newer sewer line. However, the interior remains dated, featuring original or older-style kitchen cabinetry and appliances, a 1950s-style bathroom, and plush carpeting over hardwood. While move-in ready, it fits the 'fair' criteria as the primary living spaces require modernization to meet current aesthetic standards.
The property features high-value mechanical and structural improvements, including a 200-amp electrical panel, central HVAC, dual-glazed windows, and a replaced ABS sewer line, minimizing immediate capital expenditures for the buyer.
The lot includes a beautifully landscaped backyard with a covered patio and a separate powered structure for hobbies, plus an enclosed patio that provides valuable bonus square footage not included in the official living area.
Situated in a highly desirable neighborhood within the award-winning Torrance Unified School District, the home offers excellent curb appeal and proximity to Del Amo Fashion Center and top-tier medical facilities.
The kitchen and bathroom are in original condition and require modernization, and the presence of plush carpeting over hardwood suggests a need for aesthetic updates to meet contemporary buyer preferences.
