About this home

Welcome to this thoughtfully reimagined property offering exceptional flexibility and style, featuring a fully remodeled 3-bed, 2-bath main home and a brand-new 2-bed, 2-bath ADU with a separate address. The front home was taken down to the studs, extended, and rebuilt with smart appliances, recessed lighting, waterproof laminate plank flooring, Nest thermostats, central air, fresh interior and exterior paint, and a spacious kitchen with a quartz countertop island seating up to five plus room for dining. The primary suite opens to a stunning Trex deck and private backyard filled with new lawn, plants, pavers, and vinyl fencing, while a mature magnolia tree enhances curb appeal. A paved side walkway leads to the ADU for privacy, where soaring ceilings, ensuite bedrooms, a full kitchen, laundry hookups, and a private deck reflect no-expense-spared construction. The tandem garage doubles as a potential office or gym with laundry and sink, complemented by a long driveway for extra parking. Walking distance to Old Town Torrance with restaurants, shops, and activities for all ages. With 1,993 total square feet of living space, air conditioning throughout, and endless options to live in one, rent the other, or rent both, this is a rare, turn-key opportunity designed for modern living and income potential.
