Beach Town Charm Meets Historic Craftsman Character Bring your vision, your toolbox, and your imagination—this 1914 Craftsman is ready for its next chapter. Nestled in the heart of Historic Old Torrance, this is the kind of home that doesn’t come around often. Full of original character and timeless architectural details, it’s waiting for someone to restore it to its former glory. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2,284 square feet of living space, and sitting on a 7,002 square foot lot, this is the perfect opportunity for buyers looking to create something truly special. Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. The original staircase makes a stunning first impression, while the original wood doors, windows, moldings, casings, and trim preserve the authentic charm of this historic home.

The detached garage with alley access offers excellent ADU potential (buyer to verify), creating opportunities for multi-generational living, a guest house, or future rental income.
