Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1977, has received some recent updates such as new paint, double-paned windows, and a Spanish tile roof, which are positive. The living areas feature travertine tile floors and appear well-maintained. However, the kitchen is significantly dated with dark wood cabinetry, white tile countertops, older white square floor tiles, dated floral wallpaper, and fluorescent panel lighting. While some appliances appear newer, the overall kitchen aesthetic and materials suggest a renovation that is 20-30+ years old, or original. There are no visible bathroom images for assessment. The combination of recent exterior and general interior updates with a very outdated kitchen places the property in the 'Fair' category, as it requires substantial kitchen renovation to meet current quality standards, despite being otherwise maintained.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Walteria Elementary School (9/10). High School: South High School (9/10).
Panoramic Views: The property boasts an impressive 180-degree view, encompassing city lights and neighborhood vistas, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Significant Recent Upgrades: Key updates include new metal frame, double-paned windows, a Spanish tile roof, and fresh paint throughout, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a new owner.
Premium Interior Finishes: The home features high-quality Travertine Tile floors and Granite counters, providing a luxurious and modern aesthetic.
Desirable Location & Corner Lot: Situated on a corner lot in a 'Great Neighborhood' in Torrance, offering enhanced privacy and curb appeal in a sought-after area.
Excellent School Access: Located within the Torrance Unified School District with access to multiple highly-rated public schools, including Walteria Elementary (9) and South High (9).
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1977, while updated, the property's age may imply older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not covered by recent renovations.
Multi-Level Layout: The 3-level design may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those seeking single-story living or with mobility challenges, potentially limiting the buyer pool.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price is 5% higher than the property's estimated value, which could suggest it is priced above current market expectations and may require a longer time on market or price adjustment.
