1516 W 226th, Torrance, California 90501

Two detached homes on a 7, 200 sq. ft. RD 1.5-1 lot offer an uncommon combination of flexibility, privacy, and future potential in Torrance. The front residence features 3 bedrooms and 1 bath with a detached 2-car garage, while the second residence offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with two dedicated parking spaces. Additional driveway parking provides room for several vehicles. The large backyard creates valuable outdoor space and potential for future expansion, while preliminary ADU plans and the property’s zoning provide additional possibilities for an owner-user, multigenerational household, or investor looking to add housing over time. Whether the goal is to keep family members close while maintaining separate living spaces, live in one home and generate rental income from the other, or pursue future development, the property offers multiple paths to use the site……… Located in an established Torrance neighborhood, the property places everyday conveniences within easy reach, including shopping, dining, public transportation, schools, and major commuter routes. The South Bay lifestyle is a major draw, with nearby beaches, parks, recreation, and the communities of Redondo Beach, Lomita, and the Palos Verdes Peninsula all within convenient reach. Torrance’s established residential character, access to highly regarded schools, and proximity to both coastal amenities and major employment centers make the area particularly appealing to families seeking long-term flexibility and a place where different generations can live near one another while maintaining their own space.
