Welcome to this charming cottage-style home in the highly desirable Walteria neighborhood of Torrance. Thoughtfully expanded and beautifully updated, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers 1,312 square feet of stylish and functional living space, including a fully permitted laundry room attached to the garage with generous built-in storage. Step inside to find a bright and welcoming interior featuring engineered hardwood floors throughout, recessed dimmable lighting and modern updates that blend comfort with timeless appeal. The home includes updated electrical and plumbing systems, a re-lined sewer line to the street, new central AC and heating, a tankless water heater, and a newer roof installed in 2016—providing peace of mind for years to come. The kitchen is a dream with stainless steel appliances, seamlessly opening into the cozy living room adorned with plantation shutters and built-in outdoor speakers for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The primary suite is a true retreat—nearly tripled in size from its original footprint. Enjoy a luxurious walk-in shower with a rain shower head and bench, a soaking tub, motorized shutters, a walk-in closet and French doors that lead to a serene backyard oasis. Outside, the private backyard is perfect for both relaxing and entertaining. The patio, strung with charming cafe lights, sets the mood for cozy evenings, while the grassy play area provides space for fun and outdoor hobbies. Enjoy the bounty from your own fruit trees—avocado, lemon, lime, orange, and apple—and admire the mature plumeria trees in the front yard. The backyard is newly landscaped with automatic sprinkler systems in both front and back for easy maintenance. The garage includes an EV-compatible outlet, and all appliances stay, making this home move-in ready. Ideally located near top-rated schools, shopping, dining, and the beach, this delightful home combines classic charm with thoughtful upgrades in a coveted South Bay location.
