Welcome to 2320 W 161st Street—where charm, comfort, and creativity meet! Nestled on a beautifully landscaped corner lot in North Torrance, this well-loved home has only had three owners since 1956, and it shows in the care and pride throughout. Step inside and you’ll find 3 spacious bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and nearly 1,700 square feet of inviting living space. The sunny family room—with plantation shutters and a cozy double-sided fireplace—is the perfect spot to unwind. Refinished original oak hardwood floors and a fresh coat of paint give the home a warm, clean feel. The kitchen? It's a dream. Quartz and tile counters, a stylish farm sink, and quality KraftMaid cabinets make it both functional and fun to cook in. And if you're into music, podcasting, gaming, or content creation, you’ll love the fully permitted, acoustically treated and sound isolated studio space. The backyard is an entertainer’s paradise—complete with a vinyl gazebo, firepit, rose bushes, mature landscaping, and plenty of green space for relaxing or hosting friends. Set in a friendly neighborhood where neighbors are out walking daily, this home is not only near Lincoln Elementary, Casimir Middle, and North Torrance High (Torrance Unified School District!), but it's also minutes from El Camino College and the Gardena foodie scene. Whether you’re looking for community vibes, top schools, or an inspiring space to live and create—this one checks all the boxes.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
