We are suckers for historical homes and original beach bungalows.  This one certainly fits the bill, but the restoration and remodel is fantastic.  1916 Andreao Ave was built in 1917 and the owners were able to keep that charm and even make it more charming.  The home was extensively updated and it’s ultra charming and we love it.

Not In Old Torrance…..but Too Historic and Charming Not to Mention

by

Well we’re usually talking about historic craftsman homes in Old Torrance but this 1909 built victorian was just too cool not to mention.

824 Emerald St was built in 1909 was completely updated in the 90’s.  This single family home known historically as the Tingley House after the builder is a beautifully kept and updated Queen Anne Victorian straight out of the black and white photos of original Redondo Beach.  This two story marvel offers incredible charm with detailed woodwork and finishes that keep this home feeling like it was when originally built.    The home is located on a great corner lot with a charming front lawn and just blocks to the beach.  As expected this home didn’t last long and as of 5/17 it’s gone into escrow.

Homes We Like – 1716 Watson Avenue in Old Torrance

by Leave a Comment

The home at 1716 Watson isn’t anything spectacular but we like it as it still retains some of it’s original charm but is somewhat of a blank slate for the future owners. This is a 3 bedroom 1 bath house with almost 1,400 square feet and is priced at $779,000.  One potential drawback is the location…as it’s across the street from Torrance High School.
