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.
