Description
Some homes simply check the boxes. This one has soul. Beautifully remodeled and move-in ready, this personality-plus single family home pairs inviting living spaces with a dreamy destination backyard that steals the show. Set on an oversized 40’ x 150’ lot, the backyard feels more like a private retreat than a typical neighborhood yard. Picture weekend barbecues under the string lights, evenings around the built-in fireside seating, lawn games on the turf, and relaxing beneath colorful landscape lighting after sunset. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the lemon, fig, avocado, and unique peach-apricot-plum fruit trees, along with thornless blackberries, tomatoes, pumpkins, potting bench, and utility shed. With room to add an ADU for rental income, guests, or multi-generational living while still enjoying an exceptional yard, this property offers flexibility that’s hard to find. Inside, the spacious living room flows effortlessly into the sunny kitchen, dining area, and custom built bar that adds a fun, swanky vibe for entertaining. Granite countertops, a generous corner sink overlooking the front yard, and a versatile breakfast bar create the perfect spot to cook, snack, or work from home. Air conditioning, ceiling fans, a Kinetico water softening system, Ring security, newer windows, an epoxy-finished garage with a washer, dryer, utility sink, and EV charger, plus a four-car driveway, add everyday comfort and functionality. Located in the Torrance PO neighborhood, a short stroll to the vibrant and historic Old Torrance downtown area puts restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, live music, community events and the beloved Torrance Bakery right at your fingertips. Nearby Wilson Park offers one of the South Bay’s most popular Farmers’ Markets, along with tennis courts, sports fields, picnic areas, and summer concerts at the amphitheater. Major South Bay employment centers, SpaceX, El Segundo, Silicon Beach, and LAX are all within easy reach. If you’ve been waiting to trade renting or condo living for the comfort, privacy, and freedom of your own single family home, this is an opportunity to start your next chapter.
