About This Home

As of November 2015

This is the home you've been looking for. Welcome to 1310 Portola, a beautiful detached townhome on a tree lined street in the charming community of old Torrance. Enjoy the feel of a single family home with the price, size and condition of a newer construction townhome. Unlike most Torrance townhomes, 1310 Portola is not in a large complex and is one of only two homes on a street to alley lot giving it the look and feel of a single family home. From the moment you enter you'll notice the attention to detail, the open layout and the abundance of light. Enter through double doors to a beautiful and bright entry with high ceilings and tile flooring. The downstairs offers a powder room, large living room with fireplace, wall mount for your TV with surround sound speakers, recessed lights, and an abundance of windows and sliding doors giving you direct access to the patio area. The open layout offers this spacious living room next to the dining area and open to the large kitchen, perfect for entertaining. This home was featured on HGTV Designers Challenge so if you think it feels like a show home, you're right. Upstairs features 2 large and bright bedrooms plus the master suite, all with vaulted ceilings, designer paint, large closets and large windows.
