Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1928, this property has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making both units move-in ready. The kitchens feature modern white shaker cabinets and stainless steel appliances, while bathrooms are updated with contemporary vanities and fixtures. Hardwood flooring is in good condition throughout. While not all components are brand new (e.g., some light fixtures, kitchen countertops, and laundry machines), the overall condition is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Multi-Unit Income/Flexibility: A rare opportunity to own two distinct homes on one lot, offering significant potential for multi-generational living, rental income, or a versatile investment strategy.
Prime Old Towne Orange Location: Situated on a spacious corner lot within the highly sought-after Old Towne Orange area, just a short walk from the vibrant Orange Circle, providing excellent walkability and desirability.
Spacious Corner Lot: The property boasts a generous corner lot, noted as one of the largest for a '2-on-a-lot' configuration in Old Town, offering enhanced privacy and outdoor space.
Ample Parking: Both homes feature their own private 2-car garages, complemented by additional parking space, a significant advantage in a historic neighborhood.
Versatile Layouts: The front house offers 4 bedrooms with a dedicated office and flexibility for an additional room, while the back house provides a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout with a private deck, catering to diverse living needs.

Cons

Age of Property & Potential System Updates: Built in 1928, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or require significant upgrades, potentially incurring substantial costs for a buyer.
Lack of Detailed Renovation Information: While described as charming and spacious, the listing does not specify the extent or recency of renovations for either home, leaving potential buyers to assume further investment may be needed to modernize or maintain.
High Price Point & Niche Market: With a list price nearing $2 million, this property targets a specific, high-end buyer demographic, which could limit the pool of potential purchasers despite its unique offerings.
