Description

This historical home is being offered for sale only the second time since it was built in 1923. THIS MAJESTIC HOME IS MODELED AFTER A CLASSIC, COLONIAL REVIVAL MANSION. It's located in THE HEART OF "OLD TORRANCE" ON ONE OF ITS MOST COVETED STREETS. The inviting entry to this home is A COVERED, COLANNADED FRONT PORCH with two sets of French doors for an indoor/outdoor style to the large south facing living room. The separate Formal Entry Hall is stunning, with a chandelier, gracious windowed staircase and handcrafted pocket doors that can separate it from the living room. The living room flows into the spacious dining room with a second chandelier and additional handcrafted pocket doors which can completely enclose the living room or remain open for a flowing and open feel. The house's design offers four upstairs bedrooms, two Jack & Jill baths with sunlight from many original windows and an additional level finished attic. The oversized lot has 50 ft frontage on a 7000 sq ft street to alley lot. The long driveway passes the home to the two car garage and grandfathered guest quarters. There is also access to a rare concrete lined basement from inside the main home. THE HISTORY, BEAUTY AND LOCATION OF THIS PROPERTY IS UNPARALLELED. Park the car and walk to all this neighborhood and town have to offer. THE NEIGHBORHOOD OFFERS BOTH AN URBAN AND HOMETOWN LIFESTYLE AND IS ALSO WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF THE ORIGINAL TORRANCE HIGH SCHOOL. WITH ONLY TWO OWNERS SINCE 1923, THE ORIGINAL INTEGRITY OF THE HOME HAS BEEN MAINTAINED WITH A SENSE OF STEWARDSHIP FOR THE FUTURE. NEW OWNERS' MAY WISH TO BRING THIS HOME INTO THE 21ST CENTURY, WHILE PRESERVING THE UNSURPASSED CRAFTSMANSHIP OF DAYS GONE BYE.
