More Insights
Built in 1953 (73 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1953, has undergone significant and thoughtful upgrades such as copper plumbing, vinyl windows, solar panels, and finished hardwood floors, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, but the wood cabinetry and tiled backsplash appear to be from an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago), showing signs of being outdated in style. The bathrooms are clean and functional, but their fixtures and tile work (especially the yellow-tiled shower) are clearly dated. While well-maintained, the aesthetic of the kitchen and bathrooms, along with the absence of central air conditioning, suggests that minor updates would be required to meet current buyer preferences.

About this home
Lovely and well cared for 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a large den home in a wonderful South Torrance location walking distance to all the award winning schools. There have been many thoughtful upgrades over the years including copper plumbing, vinyl windows, granite kitchen, solar panels, and finished hardwood floors. Located on an oversized corner lot close to shopping, the Riviera Village, restaurants and the beach. There is forced air heating and the kitchen is wired for electric in case you prefer electric appliances. The large den off the family room could be a very comfortable and private master retreat. Private and peaceful backyard for your morning coffee!
