Welcome to 1742 Martina Avenue, a sun-drenched Spanish charmer nestled on a quiet, tree-lined street in the heart of Torrance. This beautifully updated home offers a perfect blend of warmth, character, and modern upgrades. Inside, you'll find an open floorplan that creates a seamless connection between the living, dining, and kitchen areas - perfect for both daily living and entertaining. The kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully updated, while the home is flooded with bright natural light and enjoys a refreshing daily breeze that flows through every room. Comfort is key with central air conditioning for those warmer summer days. Outside, the large, flat backyard is both usable and inviting - ideal for gatherings, gardening, or simply relaxing under the sun. The property also comes with approved ADU plans, offering incredible potential for a future guest house, home office, or rental unit. A detached garage sits at the rear of the property, adding even more flexibility. Located just minutes from parks, shops, and award-winning Torrance schools, this is a real opportunity to own a move-in ready home with charm, space, and future potential. It is my pleasure to bring this one to market!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
