About This Home

As of July 2020

This beautifully remodeled home is located in the highly coveted neighborhood of Victoria Knolls in Torrance. Modified into an open concept living area with a dream kitchen, tons of cabinets and acres counter space. You will be delighted to prepare wonderful meals in this gorgeous kitchen! Crown molding, recessed lights and Luminette and Silhouette window treatments give this home charm and warmth. There is plenty of space to sit on the front porch and watch the kids play on the new front lawn, or retreat to the separate courtyard area to enjoy a book or chat on the phone. The backyard is very private and spacious too. The detached garage is finished and has plenty of room and the driveway can hold at least 3 cars or possibly even convert it into an ADU. Many more upgrades include roof in 2011, 200 Amp electric panel in 2011, underground wiring to the garage, new landscape and sprinklers in the front. Double pane Milgard windows throughout, hardwood floors throughout, New pergola over the courtyard and front porch. Smooth stucco. Also included are plans for an addition of another bedroom and bath. The neighborhood is very quiet with lots of long term owners as well as young families. Walk to Alta Loma Park and a short distance to Rolling Hills Plaza or Crossroads shopping centers. 15 minutes to the 405 or the 110 fwy.
