1115 Teri Avenue Torrance, CA 90503

*** Take the 360 Tour! http://www.t.ly/lIMI *** 1115 Teri Ave is a one-of-a-kind custom-built Coastal Modern dream home. Originally built in 1951, then expanded and fully-renovated in 2008, this home epitomizes the values of Modern design: minimalist aesthetics with maximal space and function. Designed and constructed by the current owners themselves, with more than 50 years of construction, carpentry and design experience, every aspect of this home is purposeful, harmonious, and built to last.

The property welcomes you with California coastal landscaping, hardscaped front & rear patios, and stucco, plaster & western red cedar exterior and decking. The open-concept living and dining spaces boast soaring 14’ ceilings and custom floor-to-ceiling anodized aluminum windows along the western walls to maximize natural light. Open the upper & lower windows to bring in westerly winds for natural ventilation and cooling throughout the greatroom. A modern gas fireplace centers the living space, complemented by charcoal vinyl floors that continue throughout the home. The kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, a built-in island with a pot-filler wet bar sink, and a mod 4' diameter circular window above the main sink overlooking the front yard.

In the master suite you'll find more floor-to-ceiling windows, a matching glass door with access to the backyard, and ensuite bath which includes a dual-head walk-in shower, glass vanity counter and glass vessel sink. The second full hallway bath has stainless steel features, modern tile accents and large frameless mirrors. The remaining two bedrooms, both with their own closets and built-ins, feature a surprise sliding-panel partition so that they can be combined or separated to satisfy many creative uses: bedroom/playroom/game room/office/gym/art studio, etc!

Enjoy the So Cal sunshine in the sophisticated backyard featuring three patio spaces! A covered wood deck off the dining room, surrounded by hedges, creates a private, shaded outdoor eating area. The sunshine-filled upper terrace patio connects the living area and master suite. And the large lower patio features built-in planters for fruit & vegetable gardening and trellis walls for privacy, shading, and greenery. The expanded 2-car garage includes a workshop and desk area, casement awning windows for air flow, and a modern opaque glass garage door for abundant natural lighting.
