Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is a 1926 build that has been well-maintained with significant exterior upgrades including professional turf and a swim spa. However, the listing lacks interior photos of the kitchen and bathrooms, and the property analysis explicitly notes 'vintage infrastructure' as a weakness, suggesting that core systems like plumbing and electrical, as well as interior finishes, likely show signs of age and require modernization to meet current standards.
The property features professional turf landscaping and a private in-ground swim spa, creating a high-end, low-maintenance outdoor retreat perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
Situated on a generous 6,001 square foot lot, the property offers excellent potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing a clear path for rental income or multi-generational living.
Offering 4 bedrooms within 1,326 square feet, the home provides a highly functional floor plan that maximizes space for larger families or those requiring dedicated home office areas.
Built in 1926, the nearly century-old structure may require ongoing maintenance or updates to core systems like plumbing and electrical to meet modern efficiency standards.
While the property holds a Torrance address, it is located within the Los Angeles Unified School District, which may be a drawback for buyers specifically seeking the Torrance Unified School System.
