About this property
Welcome to this beautifully turnkey single-family pool home in North Torrance. Set on a desirable corner lot, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence delivers standout curb appeal, abundant natural light, and true move-in-ready condition. Step inside to newly refinished solid oak floors flowing throughout the open living area and all three bedrooms. A charming architectural bay window fills the living room with light, while the striking brick wood-burning fireplace anchors the space with warmth and character. The extra-wide kitchen is built for both cooking and gathering, featuring granite counters, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, built-in microwave, refrigerator, double oven, pull-out pantry drawers, and a separate laundry area. Both bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled with fresh, modern finishes. Recessed lighting brightens the living room and kitchen, and every bedroom is fitted with a ceiling fan. Additional comforts include forced-air heating, zoned air conditioning, and dual-pane windows throughout. Out back, a sparkling pool awaits for warm summer days, complemented by generous patio space for outdoor dining and entertaining, plus a detached 2-car garage with ample parking and storage. The location is hard to beat, with quick access to the freeway, local parks, shopping, and the beach, plus you're just over a quarter mile from highly regarded Edison Elementary, Magruder Middle, and North Torrance High. This one won't last. Buyer to verify all information including square footage, lot size, permits, and schools, and to rely solely on their own investigations and findings.
