Welcome to the picture perfect starter home in Torrance! This rustic-inspired condo is located in the Merit Carson HOA, a centrally-located community walking distance to great amenities, such as the Del Amo Mall, Target, Madrona Marsh, and too many restaurants to name. Safe and quiet neighborhood, located close to the Torrance Police Department and the Fire Department. Enter this HOA through one of the few convenient entries, surrounded by tons of free street parking on Carson, Monterey, or Maple. In the courtyard, you will likely see kids playing around the manicured grounds filled with lush landscaping and blooming flowers, creating a truly serene atmosphere for living. As you enter Unit 116, you walk into a spacious living room, opening up to the kitchen and dining area. The unit has been newly updated with laminate flooring, new windows, a new heating system, and updated electrical. The charming country kitchen features cobalt tile countertops, a custom wine rack, and a huge pantry suitable to store all your extras. Each bedroom has a large window, making it light and bright, and big closets, with the master's spanning from wall-to-wall. The showstopper is the bathroom, completely gutted and renovated in 2019 with designer finishes. The private patio with new landscaping includes custom planters, river rock, and creates a private sanctuary perfect for barbecuing and/or relaxing. 1 covered parking space plus storage. Low HOA dues and superior management too!
