About This Home

Welcome to the beautiful J.W. Wilson house from 1905 -- a historic 4 bedroom/2 bathroom home in Old Towne Orange just steps from the Orange Circle. This is only the second time in 7 years this home has come available for rent. This home has maximum flexibility with 2 bedrooms/1 bath upstairs and 2 bedrooms 1 bath downstairs. The ideal tenant is someone who loves historic homes, architecture, all things vintage, and understands how special of a historic home this is to all of Southern California. Since this home was built over 115 years ago when cars were scarce, it does not have a garage; however it has a driveway for two off-street parking and ample street parking. Our work restoring these homes (and others) has received numerous awards and has been featured online and in various local and national newspapers and periodicals (Find us on FB or IG by searching "HistoricHomeRow") This meticulously restored home comes with: *Two porches - a large front and a side porch *Large, private and professionally landscaped backyard *Parking for 2 cars off street *Large pantry and laundry room *Private, in-unit washer and dryer supplied *Restored, original hardwood floors *Original coved ceilings *6 foot by 7 foot locked TuffShed storage unit in backyard *Period correct tile in bathroom *Air conditioning/heating unit *Period specific light fixtures and switches *Hunter Douglas window coverings *Restored original doors *Way, way too many custom features to list - the bottom line is: if you can find a nicer home at a better price, you should rent it.
