Welcome to this totally upgraded studio at The Gables, a 55+ senior community. Built in 2006, this well-maintained south-facing unit offers 490 sqft of bright and quiet living space. Though a studio, the sleeping area is thoughtfully separated, providing a designated space for a bed, complete with a window and closet for added comfort and functionality. The home features elegant wood shutters, tiled kitchen and bathroom areas, and laminated hardwood flooring throughout. The kitchen is equipped with a granite countertop, and the in-unit stackable washer and dryer add extra convenience. The unit also includes a central heating and cooling system for year-round comfort. Step onto your private patio off the living area and enjoy the refreshing breeze. This unit is conveniently located close to the elevator and trash chute for easy access. The community offers a secure, gated entrance and a welcoming community room on the ground floor, featuring a library and TV, which can also be used as a conference room where neighbors can gather. Ideally situated near the Torrance Civic Center, Del Amo Fashion Center, movie theaters, grocery stores, shops, banks, restaurants, hospitals, and medical offices, this home provides the perfect blend of comfort, security, and accessibility!
