About This Home

As of October 2022

Well preserved and updated 1906 hip-roof cottage in prime location in Old Towne Orange's National Register Historic District! All the charm you've been hoping for in a historic home - original refinished woodwork, 5-panel doors - including functional 6-panel pocket doors in the parlor - and original wide-planked Douglas Fir floors, set against professionally re-plastered walls and coved ceilings. Several original light fixtures, original windows, many with original glass (including the rare, curved glass front window-which has a history of its own!). Stunning master bath includes oversized slipper-type clawfoot bathtub, and large walk-in glass shower with three shower heads! Secondary bath tastefully remodeled as well, and both bedrooms have large closets rarely found in historic homes (and pull downstairs to huge attic storage space as well!). Remodeled kitchen with black granite counters, stainless appliances, farm sink, and period-appropriate lighting leads to cozy back porch suitable for a breakfast nook, reading area, or even a small guest room. Large private back yard has newer heated, salt-water pool with handsome and functional bronze scuppers (with a rustic patina), a custom Victorian style fence, and plenty of room to play or garden! Yard is adjacent to award-winning restored carriage house with newer concrete driveway! House has newer foundation (earthquake-bolted), updated electrical panel and wiring throughout, central heat/AC, copper plumbing, and tastefully integrated accessibility ramps (suitable for wheelchair or walker) to both the house and backyard/pool - and the topper? It's a current Mills Act house - property taxes to new owner approx. $3,207/year - (check with City of Orange for details)! And it's all just steps away from one of the country's "Great Places in America" - the Old Towne Orange Plaza, with its historic buildings and wide variety of dining and shopping options! Walk to the historic train station and Public Library, too! Call your Realtor today for a showing!
