About This Home
As of August 2025Welcome to Old Torrance, a jewel within the South Bay, designed by famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, Jr. It is easy to fall for this charming neighborhood, and even easier to fall head over heels for this adorable craftsman duplex on Gramercy Aveneue, the city's first residential street. The front house consists of a spacious 2-bed, 1-bath detached home with a huge, grassy front yard. In back, lofted above a large three-car garage sits an oversized 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit that was added in 2008. Both units share a private backyard with ample green space and enjoy central HVAC. Easy to manage property with great rental income and a desirable location in very high demand. This is an excellent opportunity to owner-occupy, purchase as a first-time real estate investment, or add to your portfolio as dependable property that you will be proud to own. Attractively priced with loads upside to be had by a savvy buyer.
