    What's special

    Period detailsClassic built-insVibrant bougainvilleaCasita-style propertyCharming fountainRaised flower bedSurrounded by tree-lined streets
    A rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored 1920s Spanish-style duplex in the heart of Old Torrance, rich with architectural heritage and timeless charm. Inspired by the work of renowned architect Irving Gill, this casita-style property blends classic character with thoughtful modern updates—making it equally appealing as an owner-occupied residence or a premium investment. Both units have been renovated while preserving the soul of the home, featuring classic built-ins, period details, and an undeniable warmth that truly oozes charm. Each unit enjoys its own separate laundry, offering convenience and privacy rarely found in historic properties. At the rear of the property, a serene Spanish-inspired courtyard creates a private oasis, complete with a charming fountain, vibrant bougainvillea, and a raised flower bed—perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or quiet mornings with coffee. The detached garage has been converted into a gym, adding flexible lifestyle space, while two off-street parking spots are accessible from the rear alley. Located in iconic Old Torrance, just moments from the famous Old Torrance Railroad Train Bridge, this property is surrounded by tree-lined streets, historic homes, and a strong sense of community. Its setting within Torrance offers easy access to local shops, dining, and coastal amenities. Charming, historic, and beautifully updated, 1920 Gramercy Avenue is a one-of-a-kind duplex that celebrates California’s architectural past while delivering modern comfort and enduring value. Situated on an R2 lot, this property presents exciting options for developers, builders, or owner-investors, including the potential to add an ADU above the existing garage (buyer to verify).
