The home
About 478 S Shaffer Street
Historic but all new! Quite possibly the most updated home in Old Towne Orange, and it sits on a spacious lot zoned for multiple units. New plumbing, new roof, new electric, new hardwood flooring, new central air conditioning and heat, new LED recessed lighting, new water hear, new tile...and the list keeps going. This turn-key three bed two bath home in Old Towne Orange just underwent a major renovation. The house feels fresh and new but with all the charm of a 100+ year old home. Walk in the front door to an open floor plan leading into a brand new kitchen with white shaker cabinets, gray quartz countertops, new appliances, and a farmhouse sink that looks over the spacious back yard. Down the hallway is a downstairs master bedroom, laundry closet built for a full-sized stacked washer and dryer, and a natural marble tiled shower in the bathroom. Up the custom stairway sits bedrooms and a bath, one bedroom has a private enclosed porch retreat. This is a rare hassle-free and safe/sound historic purchase, or a great buy for the investor looking for a strong rental with the possibility of adding on additional rental units. This property may be eligible for the Mills Act, a major tax reduction for owner of historic properties.

In cities, the fire zone line follows the State Fire Marshal's 2025 map; each city adopts its own map and may add areas. These lines are not a Natural Hazard Disclosure. Check the official maps and the seller's disclosures before you rely on them.
