3430 W 228th Place

The first time on the market in 70 years, this charming home presents an opportunity to buy in the coveted South High school district and make the home your own. This charming 4-bed, 2-bath was originally 1209 sf and an oversized den added roughly 400 feet of living area. The ranch-style home has been updated with dual-pane front windows that feature plantation shutters, creating a welcoming view from the street. The footprint of the home allows for a spacious backyard, somewhat unique in the neighborhood. The oversized den has a decorative fireplace and expansive windows that look out onto the private backyard, where the new residents will enjoy gorgeous views of the Palos Verdes hills and South Bay sunsets. The ¾ bath is situated well for conversion to an en suite for the primary bedroom. Neighbors have remodeled similar homes, creating an open floorplan from the kitchen to the living room or opening a wall between the kitchen and the den. The home is located on a unique L-shaped street, minimizing through-traffic and related noise. The 2-car garage includes a workbench for hobbies and projects, and an outdoor shed stays with the home. The roof was replaced in 2018. Conveniently located, the property is less than a mile from Torrance Memorial Hospital, walking distance to Madronna Marsh Preserve, near Arnold Elementary -- a 2023 CA Distinguished School – and less than 3 miles to the beach.
