About 816 Faysmith Avenue
Set on an expansive nearly 9,000 square foot lot in the heart of Torrance, 816 Faysmith Ave offers a rare opportunity to reimagine, expand, or create something entirely your own. Whether you’re an investor or a buyer with vision, this property provides a strong foundation in a highly desirable location. The home currently features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with a flexible layout that was originally designed as a 3-bedroom—offering the option to easily convert back if desired.

Located on a quiet, tree-lined street in central Torrance, the home is just minutes from Del Amo Fashion Center, award-winning schools, parks, and dining, offering both convenience and long-term value. This is a compelling opportunity to bring your vision to life on a large lot in one of the South Bay’s most established neighborhoods.
