About This Home

As of June 2024

Welcome to your dream home nestled in the heart of Southwood, Torrance.

This contemporary sanctuary offers the perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and functionality, providing a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, where a colorful, lush landscape greets you at the curb.

As you step through the front door of this meticulously crafted residence, you're welcomed by an inviting seamless flow of space. You will notice the custom mantle on the beautiful brick fireplace in the formal living area. Beyond this is the heart of the home which lies in its stunning kitchen, adorned with custom porcelain tile work, sleek quartz countertops, a copper sink, and stainless appliances. The laundry room is located just beyond the kitchen within the pantry/storage area.

The living spaces boast luxurious engineered wood/vinyl flooring, creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication throughout the home. Natural light floods the interior through the wall of retractable glass sliding doors onto the outdoor patio, accentuating the home's modern design and airy feel.

The primary suite with an updated ensuite bath of marble-tiled shower, and floating shelves, offers a private oasis where you can unwind and rejuvenate after a long day. The two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, kids, or a home office. One bedroom includes a ladder to the built-out loft for kids' play, privacy, or a retreat. The second bath is also updated and boasts custom tile in the enclosed tub/shower, dual sinks, and bronze accents.

Step outside into your paradise, where the beautifully landscaped tiered backyard awaits. Relax in the soothing waters of the hot tub spa, practice your putting skills on the green, or retreat on the deck for a moment of solitude. There is also an outdoor shower for a quick clean-up & an enclosed storage shed for Sunday Funday equipment.

The finished loft space above the two-car attached garage is a welcome surprise for those who work from home. Complete with a convenient bath, two skylights, and plenty of storage. This versatile space is ideal for a home office, gym, or studio. Located near everything essential; the beach, award-winning restaurants, retail, shopping, and parks. This Southwood home is a gem, come take a look!
