About this home
Step into a home where decades of memories meet a bright, airy future. Meticulously cared for by the same family for over 37 years, this South Torrance gem radiates a sense of pride and warmth from the moment you pull up to the curb. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, the property captures the quintessential charm of one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods. Inside, you’ll find an impressively spacious 2,255 square foot layout bathed in natural light. This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home offers plenty of room to breathe, featuring two distinct living spaces and a separate dining room for effortless hosting. At the heart of the home, a versatile flex space awaits your personal touch—perfect for a library, hobby area, or creative studio. The floor plan has been thoughtfully adapted for modern life, with one original bedroom now serving as a dedicated home office, ideal for a professional workspace. While the home retains its classic appeal, it has been updated where it counts, boasting newer systems throughout, including a modern HVAC system for year-round comfort. The location is truly unbeatable for anyone looking to embrace the South Bay lifestyle. You’re just minutes away from local parks and the vibrant energy of Riviera Village, where boutique shopping and celebrated dining options await. When the ocean calls, the beach is just a short drive away. This is a rare opportunity to move into a well-loved home in a prime location and start your own next chapter.
Southwood Riviera, located between Pacific Coast Highway and Palos Verdes Boulevard, is a residential and coastal-adjacent Torrance neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and breezy, tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Riviera Village stretch of Catalina Avenue, where sidewalk patios, independent boutiques, and espresso bars keep the street active from morning through late dinner. Local pillars include the Riviera Village Farmers Market, the Torrance Cultural Arts Center, and the historic Old Torrance Bakery. Streets trend gently toward the beach, with pocket parks and school campuses breaking up the grid. Architecture leans low-slung and well-kept, with wide driveways and mature landscaping. Daily life centers on walkable errands, outdoor time, and a calm, coastal pace.
