Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1992 and owned by the original owner for 30 years, this property is well-maintained but shows its age. The kitchen, while functional with granite countertops and double ovens, features a dated cabinet style and backsplash. Bathrooms are clean but also reflect a 90s/early 2000s aesthetic in their fixtures, tiling, and cabinetry. A significant factor is the apparent lack of central air conditioning, which is a major system update often expected in homes of this size and price point. While move-in ready, it requires substantial cosmetic updates and system modernizations to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Location & School District: Located in the highly desirable Torrance School District area of Southeast Torrance, offering excellent proximity to Sur La Brea Park, major freeways (110 & 405), and extensive shopping, dining, and entertainment options.
Spacious & Functional Floor Plan: A generous 3,239 sqft two-story home with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, including a valuable first-floor bedroom with a full bath ideal for guests or multi-generational living, and a spacious primary suite with vaulted ceilings and a walk-in closet.
Well-Appointed Kitchen: The 'Cook's kitchen' is equipped with desirable features such as granite countertops, double ovens, and two sinks, providing a functional and appealing space for culinary activities and entertaining.
Unique Outdoor Living & RV Parking: The property offers a beautifully landscaped backyard with a diverse collection of fruit trees, creating a unique and productive outdoor environment, complemented by a large two-car garage and valuable RV parking.
Long-Term Ownership & Care: Being offered for the first time in 30 years by the original owner suggests a history of consistent care and maintenance, which can be a positive indicator of the property's overall condition.

Cons

Significant Price Discrepancy: The current list price of $1.749M is notably higher than the estimated property value of $1.346M and some comparable sales, indicating a potential overvaluation that may challenge market acceptance and buyer interest.
Potential for Dated Features & Systems: Despite some kitchen features, the 1992 build year and long-term ownership suggest that other areas of the home (e.g., bathrooms, flooring, windows, overall aesthetic) and major systems may not be fully updated to modern standards, potentially requiring substantial renovation costs for a new owner.
Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention central air conditioning, which is a significant amenity often expected in homes of this size and price point in Southern California, and is present in some comparable properties. This could be a notable drawback, especially during warmer months.
