About This Home
As of June 2021This quaint, naturally lit 2 bed, 1 bath home in Torrance has been upgraded recently with a new roof, fresh paint throughout and new backsplash in the kitchen, and features hardwood floors throughout. There is a lovingly manicured front yard and a large backyard, both fit with a sprinkler system. The backyard is a California produce lover's dream, with banana, fig, lemon, orange and avocado trees, while still allowing plenty of open yard space for children or pets to play. A beautiful, skylit covered patio provides a comfortable space for lounging or entertaining, with ceiling fans for warmer months and two heat lamps for when things cool down at night. There is a one car garage and a widened driveway for ample off-street parking, as well as a storage shed behind the garage adjacent to the backyard. This house is centrally located in the heart of North Torrance, convenient to restaurants, grocery stores, adjacent South Bay communities and the beach. Transportation for commuters is a breeze being located minutes from the 405 freeway.
