Charming Home in the Shady Nook Tract of Old Torrance. Welcome to 2825 Martha, a friendly and inviting home nestled in the coveted Shady Nook Tract of Old Torrance. Step onto the front yard and be greeted by a majestic magnolia tree, perfect for a swing or two, ideal for playtime or chatting with neighbors on sunny afternoons. This fabulous starter home sits on a generous, flat lot and offers 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and an attached single-car garage. The roof was reroofed in 2016, with permits on file with the city, giving you peace of mind. Beneath the carpet, hardwood floors await your revitalization touches.

A versatile shed/former hot tub enclosure in the backyard presents endless possibilities: transform it into an ADU, guest house, storage space, or even a rejuvenated hot tub retreat with a little creativity. This home is full of potential, charm, and character, ready for the next owner to make it truly their own.
