Come be inspired! From this rare, hilltop perch at the quiet end of a private street, the entire L.A. basin opens up before you: Mountains, downtown Los Angeles, endless sky. Inside, the home’s layout is functional and flexible, with two generous living rooms flowing out to a patio perfectly capturing those epic views. An upgraded kitchen, with ample storage, stainless appliances, and breakfast nook, feels connected to the home’s bright, open living spaces. The oversized primary suite was created by combining two bedrooms – separate them again, and you’ve instantly got a true four-bedroom home. The additional bedrooms enjoy their own pleasant views and easy access to the backyard. While the kitchen and bathrooms are nicely upgraded, there is room to customize and modernize even further, to really put your own stamp on this property. And the oversized lot is something special: Beyond that view patio is a substantial stretch of hillside dotted with trees, greenery and possibility. What could you create with all that space? This home is one of the great, solid, single-level postwar homes you'll find throughout Torrance and the Hollywood Riviera, but you have to admit: This one's got something extra. If it grabs you, just think how others feel. Don't miss it!
