Description
In the desirable Walteria neighborhood of South Torrance, this thoughtfully remodeled home showcases premium quality upgrades and design throughout. Originally renovated for the owners to enjoy long-term, the improvements were completed with care and attention to detail rather than for resale. An extra-long driveway leads past the large grassy front lawn, new smooth stucco and siding exterior, and upgraded brick porch, creating excellent curb appeal. Inside, you are welcomed by new engineered hardwood floors and an expanded floor plan that adds open living space to the living area and den. The fully remodeled kitchen features high-end finishes including a Thermador range and range hood, instant hot water, water purification system, shaker cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms have also been fully remodeled, and the home includes new copper plumbing throughout. The backyard offers a grassy lawn, wrought iron gate separating the driveway, new vinyl perimeter fencing, and paver hardscaping adjacent to the home — perfect for a grill, outdoor dining, and seating area. Additional upgrades include a new roof (2025), tankless water heater (2024), epoxy garage flooring (2026), upgraded 200 amp electrical panel (2025), recessed lighting (2023), and more. Located within the award-winning Torrance Unified School District and close to excellent dining, shopping, and everyday conveniences, this move-in ready home offers quality, comfort, and thoughtful upgrades throughout.
