Built in 1920, the property's century-old foundation and core systems may require more frequent maintenance or costly upgrades compared to modern builds.
The rear unit is officially designated as a 'legal game/bonus room' rather than a primary dwelling, which could complicate traditional financing or future zoning compliance.
Welcome to 1542 W 223rd Street, a rare 3-unit South Bay opportunity offering current income, flexible living options, and long-term upside in the heart of Torrance. Situated on an approximately 6,681 square foot lot, the property includes three separate living spaces: a front 2-bedroom, 1-bath residence, a middle 1-bedroom, 1-bath ADU, and a rear studio with 1 bathroom. Together, the property generates $6,800 per month and $81,600 in annual gross income, with all tenants currently month-to-month and current on rent. The front house is rented for $2,750 per month, the middle ADU is rented for $2,350 per month, and the rear studio is rented for $1,700 per month. With separate entrances, updated interiors, brand new split A/C units in all three spaces, and laundry inside the front and middle units, this property offers immediate income with room to grow. The layout creates multiple possibilities for investors, owner-users, extended families, and buyers seeking flexibility. Continue leasing all three units, live in one and rent the others, create a multigenerational setup, or explore future options to improve, expand, or reposition the property. The rear unit is noted as a legal game/bonus room, and ownership has explored SB-9 possibilities, adding another layer of long-term upside. The opportunity becomes even more compelling with neighboring 1546 W 223rd Street also available, creating a rare chance to acquire side-by-side parcels in Torrance for scale, future planning, portfolio growth, or a larger South Bay footprint. Located just north of Sepulveda Boulevard with convenient access to the 110, 405, and 91 freeways, the property offers strong connectivity to employment centers, shopping, dining, schools, beaches, and surrounding South Bay communities. Three income streams, multiple possibilities, and a prime Torrance location make 1542 W 223rd Street an opportunity worth seeing.
