About This Home
As of June 2022Iconic, epic house on the most coveted tree-lined street in Historic Old Torrance! LUXURIOUS SPANISH ARCHITECTURAL DETAIL! The beautiful arches in the loggia leading to the front door and the water sounds of the fountain will greet you and your guests. What a HUGE, VERSATILE HOME that will take your breath away when you look upon it. Once through the front door, gaze upon exposed rough-cut beams in a 15-foot-ceiling living room with a fireplace and formal dining room with original built-in buffet. Over the years, even through many upgrades, the charming character and classic Spanish style have been wonderfully retained. The kitchen boasts a wonderfully restored cobalt blue Wedgewood Holly range that will provide family meals and visual connection to the past. Four large bedrooms and two bathrooms in the MAIN HOUSE. An attached Mother-in-Law (ADU) includes a family room with soaring ceilings, kitchenette, one bedroom, one bonus room/office and one full bath and offers multi-generational living: Aging parents, a separate teen area, an office wing—what a versatile home that dazzles while also highly functional! Enjoy California indoor-outdoor living with the lushly landscaped, private, large and sunny backyard. This house satisfies all of the complexities of modern living. This is a dream location: not too close to the freeways, but not far at all--plus easy access via Crenshaw and Torrance boulevards!
