Property Description
Welcome to The Cota Cottage, a classic California turn of the century home, located on a beautiful tree lined street with a spacious grassy front yard. The home's timeless character is highlighted by a charming slate rock porch... perfect for enjoying your morning coffee while watching the sun rise in the East.
Inside, you'll find a blend of original charm and modern upgrades, including some original flooring, elegant crown moulding, energy-efficient dual pane windows with wood blinds, ceiling fans, and solar tubes that fill the home with natural light while reducing energy use. The home offers two bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, along with one full bathroom and a convenient half bath off the kitchen. Forced-air heating keeps the home warm and comfortable on cooler evenings.
Near the front of the home is a versatile bonus room, ideal for a home office, crafting, nursery, or workout space. The modern kitchen features tile flooring, granite countertops, gas stove, built-in microwave, dishwasher, and recessed lighting. Just off the kitchen is a small utility room near the rear door, providing access to the fenced backyard and the two-car garage with alley access and additional parking. The garage includes a sink, washer and dryer hookups, water heater, termite clearance, and ample overhead and side storage. The space is fully plumbed, electrical, gas and waste lines... a potential ADU opportunity (buyer to verify with the City of Torrance).
The backyard offers a mix of grass, concrete, and a brick patio, partially covered with lattice for shade... perfect for outdoor entertaining. Additional features include exterior floodlights, a security screen front door, an automatic sprinkler system, and refreshing ocean breezes from the West.
Make lasting memories in this beautiful 107-year-young "new" classic Old Torrance home. An appraiser measured the property at approximately 1,087 square feet.
