Pros & Cons
Pros

Extensive Modern Renovation: The property has undergone a 'superbly renovated' transformation with contemporary finishes throughout, including new natural oak flooring, a design-inspired paint scheme, recessed lighting, a modern kitchen with quartz countertops and new stainless steel appliances, updated bathrooms, new smooth stucco exterior, and a new backyard deck.
Brand New HVAC System: A complete brand new 3-ton HVAC system has been installed, providing modern climate control, comfort, and energy efficiency, which is a significant upgrade for a home of this age.
Desirable Location & Amenities: Located in the 'sought-after Walteria neighborhood' in South Torrance, the home offers excellent proximity to major freeways (PCH, 110 FWY), essential retail (Whole Foods, Trader Joe's), and is just minutes away from the beautiful South Bay beaches.

ADU Conversion Potential: The spacious two-car garage is explicitly mentioned as being 'easily made into an ADU,' presenting a valuable opportunity for potential rental income or additional living space.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2024-12-17. The sold price is $1,170,000.00.
Original Construction Age: Despite extensive renovations, the home's original construction year of 1949 means that underlying structural elements, plumbing, and electrical systems (beyond the new HVAC) may still be original or partially updated, potentially leading to unforeseen maintenance or upgrade costs.
High Price Point for Square Footage: With a list price of nearly $1.5 million for 1500 sqft, the property may be perceived as having a high price-per-square-foot, which could narrow the pool of potential buyers, especially when considering the original build year.
Limited Specifics on Core System Upgrades: While the HVAC, windows, and roof are new, the description lacks explicit details regarding comprehensive overhauls of the main plumbing and electrical systems, which are critical considerations for a home built in 1949.
