Beach days are made easy; just grab your surfboard and/or your backpack beach chair and hit the coast in minutes - a short bike ride brings you to the ocean breeze and endless waves. This tranquil neighborhood also offers city conveniences with quick freeway access within 5 minutes, less than a mile to the Transit Center for shuttle service to Sofi Stadium for games and concerts, and approx 1.5 miles to Wilson Park for the Certified Farmer's Market (2/wk) and the shuttle to the Hollywood Bowl. You'll have front-row seats to local celebrations including spectacular fireworks displays from the courthouse parking lot (just 0.2 miles away or watch from your front yard), and cheer on the Torrance Armed Forces Day Parade marching right down Torrance Blvd. If you have little ones, holiday magic and cheer is right outside your doorstep; the first and last stop for the Torrance Police Department Santa Claus is right in the courthouse parking lot; while on Halloween, let your little ghosts and goblins loose on the trick-or-treating hot spots a few streets down (Hickory, Patronella)!. This home provides work-life harmony allowing you to remain productive when needed with a dedicated air-conditioned office (attached to the 2-car garage) with built-in desk and high-speed internet.
