Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1950, the property shows signs of regular upkeep and some recent updates like new stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, washer/dryer), updated flooring (laminate/engineered wood and tile), and recessed lighting. However, the kitchen cabinetry appears to be from an older renovation (likely 15-30 years ago), showing an outdated style despite being well-maintained. There are no images of the bathroom, which is a key area for assessing condition. While move-in ready, the mix of new and dated elements, particularly the kitchen cabinets, indicates it requires minor updates to achieve a more cohesive, modern aesthetic. It is not extensively renovated within the last 15 years, aligning with the 'Fair' category.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Torrance Location: Situated in a highly desirable North Torrance - West area, offering excellent community amenities, schools, and convenient access to local attractions and services.
Significant Expansion Potential: The generous 5,000 sqft lot provides ample space for adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a pool, offering substantial future value appreciation and customization opportunities.
Desirable City Lights View: The property boasts a captivating city lights view, a premium feature that enhances its aesthetic appeal and provides an attractive living environment.
Detached Single-Family Home: As a single-family residence, it offers the highly sought-after benefits of privacy, independent living, and land ownership in a competitive market.
Recent Price Adjustment: The recent price reduction from $937,000 to $910,000 indicates seller motivation and a more competitive offering, potentially attracting serious buyers.
Cons
Compact Interior Square Footage: At only 832 sqft, the interior living space is quite small for a single-family home, which may limit its appeal to larger families or those seeking more spacious accommodations.
Dated Construction (1950): Built in 1950, the property is likely to require significant updates to its systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and finishes to meet contemporary standards, implying potential renovation costs.
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property's functionality and appeal are restricted for many buyer demographics, particularly those needing more space or multiple bathrooms.
