About this home

Welcome to this beautifully updated home that blends warm finishes with standout indoor-outdoor living. Wood floors run throughout the main living spaces paired with vaulted ceilings that bring in volume, light and an airy feel. A formal dining room is perfect for hosting while elevated details—Anthropologie and Crate & Barrel lighting—add a curated designer touch. The kitchen has been refreshed with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, a new backsplash and refrigerator. A huge center island with a 5-burner cooktop anchors the space with a casual area featuring banquette seating ideal for a breakfast table. Tucked nearby, a separate beverage and coffee prep area includes wine storage, a drink refrigerator and the perfect spot for your coffee maker making everyday living and entertaining feel effortless. The primary suite is a true retreat—generously sized with shiplap vaulted ceilings and a spa-like bath featuring a freestanding tub, a large walk-in shower with a rain shower head and a walk-in closet. Step outside to the private deck off the suite, an ideal spot for morning coffee or quiet evenings. Outside is where this property really shines. Enjoy a sparkling pool and spa with a new pool system and a new pool pump plus Jandy wireless control for easy operation. A pool fence adds extra safety and function. Entertain with ease in the outdoor kitchen complete with two burners, an ice maker and a drink refrigerator then gather around the outdoor fire pit. Fresh landscaping frames the yard and new exterior paint keeps everything looking crisp. A sport court adds another layer of fun and flexibility. Comfort is covered year-round with two HVAC units (furnace and A/C) for efficient heating and cooling along with a new water heater for peace of mind. Extras include Govee permanent exterior lights for year-round ambiance, an EV charger installed in the garage and a garage outfitted with plenty of wood cabinetry for organized storage. Our location sits right where Torrance meets Redondo Beach and Hermosa Beach so beach access is about five minutes, the freeway is less than ten and you are perfectly positioned between fine dining in Palos Verdes and Manhattan Beach with everything in between. The neighborhood also boasts two beautiful parks and a dog park all within walking distance. Turnkey, thoughtfully upgraded and made for everyday living plus effortless entertaining—this is Torrance living at its best.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =7514, other record lot size in square feet = 7576. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, other record bedroom count = 4.
High Ongoing Maintenance for Amenities: The extensive outdoor features (pool, spa, outdoor kitchen, sport court) require significant ongoing maintenance, time, and financial commitment, which may deter buyers seeking a low-maintenance property.
Lack of Scenic Views: The property does not offer any specific scenic views (ocean, city, or panoramic), which can be a comparative drawback for buyers in this desirable coastal area who often prioritize such visual amenities.
Substantial Property Taxes & Insurance: Given the high list price of nearly $2.4 million in a prime Southern California location, prospective buyers should anticipate significant annual property tax and insurance expenses, adding to the overall cost of ownership.
