Property Description

Exquisite historic home with the comfort of modern-day convenience! This home sits on a huge lot in famous Old Town Orange. A full-width porch welcomes you with fluted tapered piers, gorgeous decorative brackets, and an absolutely stunning front door which is the original hardwood door with an oval pane. The door opens up to an open floor plan which flows directly into the living and dining rooms and then onto the kitchen. The kitchen has newer cabinets, quartz counter tops, and a farmhouse sink with a window that allows you an open view of the backyard. Down the hallway, you have easy access to the laundry area, a downstairs master bedroom and bath. As an unique historical feature on the second floor, you will find many of the doors to the two bedrooms have preserved the antique key-hole doorknobs. Next, as you enter the spacious master bedroom you will come upon your own private enclosed porch retreat with plenty of windows throughout. The upstairs bathroom will again remain unique to the period with built-ins and a beautiful clawfoot tub that adds to the nostalgia of the home. Outside, the wrap around gravel and stone pathway will lead you to the spacious backyard where there are many succulents and fruit trees. As an added bonus for investors the lot is zoned for multiple units. This home is specifically significant because it dates back to Old Towne Early Settlement (c.1870-1920)(Transitional/Victorian).
