Description
Located on Via Buena Ventura—one of the most coveted streets in the highly desirable Lower Riviera—this beautifully maintained home offers an exceptional combination of location, space and lifestyle. Extensively remodeled from top to bottom in 2010, the approximately 1,400-square-foot residence features a spacious open floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen is centered around a custom island designed specifically for the space and opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas. Additional highlights include bamboo flooring, recessed lighting, vinyl windows, a fireplace and a fully paid solar panel system. Large glass doors bring in abundant natural light and provide easy access to the inviting backyard and patio. Plans for a potential third-bedroom addition are available for buyer review. Enjoy an easy walk to Riviera Village, El Retiro Park and Torrance Beach from this rarely available Lower Riviera property. This property is not located in the Torrance Hillside Overlay District, which makes it easier to remodel and/or add-on. This is one of the few streets in the Riviera that has no electrical power poles as they are underground.
