Located in desirable Hollywood Riviera, this is truly a diamond in the rough with incredible potential to become your dream home. Situated along PCH but tucked just one street in (frontage/parallel section of PCH), the property offers a surprising sense of privacy and tranquility. Mature vegetation planted by the city provides an added buffer from both Pacific Coast Highway and South Torrance High School, helping to soften the surrounding sounds. This spacious home features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a large enclosed attached patio that is not included in the reported square footage—offering additional space for entertaining, a home office, gym, or whatever your lifestyle requires. The home retains much of its original character and condition from when it was purchased in 1969, providing a unique opportunity for someone with vision to renovate and create something truly special. It also features central heating, which is currently operational, along with a gas-starting and wood-burning fireplace. The roof was replaced approximately 10 years ago; the replacement did not include the one-car garage. For the buyer who can see beyond the current condition, this property offers the chance to transform a substantial South Torrance home into a personalized dream home in an exceptional location. Great investor opportunity as well.
