Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1958, this home is well-maintained but shows significant signs of age and outdated styles in key areas. The kitchen features dated tile countertops, older white cabinets, and a mix of appliances, indicating it has not been renovated in the last 15-20 years. Bathrooms also appear functional but dated with basic vanities and tile. While some areas have updated flooring (wood-look tile) and fresh paint, the presence of popcorn ceilings throughout and the overall aesthetic of the kitchen and bathrooms suggest the property requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime West Torrance Location: Situated in a desirable West Torrance neighborhood on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering a highly sought-after and peaceful living environment.
Generous & Usable Lot Size: A large flat 7,650 sq ft lot provides ample outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or potential expansion, complemented by a low-maintenance outdoor area ideal for entertaining.
Charming Mid-Century Modern Architecture: The home boasts a charming single-story, mid-century modern design, appealing to buyers who appreciate this classic and often well-built architectural style.
Functional Interior Layout & Amenities: Features a practical single-story layout with a dedicated laundry room and an attached two-car garage for storage, enhancing daily convenience and utility.
Excellent School District Access: Located within the highly-rated Torrance Unified School District, with several top-rated elementary, middle, and high schools nearby, a significant draw for families.
Cons
Age and Potential for System Updates: Built in 1958, the property may have original or older major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) that could require significant investment or updates in the near future.
Smaller Interior Square Footage Relative to Price: With 1193 sq ft of living space for a $1.4M list price, the interior might be considered modest in size compared to other properties at this price point in the area.
Listing Price Exceeds Estimated Value: The property is listed 5% above its estimated market value, which could deter potential buyers or lead to longer market time if not justified by recent upgrades or unique features not detailed.
