About This Home

As of December 2022

If home is where the heart is, then this is the most important paragraph you’ll ever read. Introducing 3227 W 188th Street in Torrance: a beautifully updated modern farmhouse that’s destined to be the home your heart’s been desiring.
This 2-story charmer’s house-wide, covered porch greets you first; step inside and you’ll discover an airy, open-concept living area that artfully combines a light-filled corner living room, a spacious dining area and a sleek chef’s kitchen equipped with stainless appliances, marble countertops and a designer backsplash. With an organic flow, recessed lighting above and laminate flooring below, this great-room inspired area is perfect for entertaining.
The first-floor owner’s retreat (accessed via dramatic double doors) is a calming enclave that includes twin closets with stylish barn doors, direct access to the back yard and a spacious ensuite bathroom with dual vanities and walk-in shower. A second downstairs bedroom is ideal as an in-home office or playroom, and a second full bath is right outside.
Upstairs, two more generous bedrooms share a full bath. Back outside, a gated driveway leads to a detached 2-car garage with a hidden surprise: a bonus room that opens to the back yard through a rolling garage door. This space instantly transforms the yard into an indoor-outdoor space, and is the perfect spot for your future home gym, theater or relaxing lounge.
Your heart will be convinced as soon as you tour 3227 W 188th Street… but so will your head, since your new North Torrance farmhouse boasts air conditioning and nearly-instant access to I-405. And since your head & heart agree, it must be right. But it also must be right *now* unless your heart wants to be broken again.
