Tired of having to get in your car to go somewhere? Buy 918 Orient and you can park it and forget about it. Some properties exaggerate just how ''walkable'' they are to desired locations, but there's no stretching the truth about this one—you can literally walk anywhere in downtown in minutes OR get on Ellerbee Creek trail, which you can see out your front window. However, with a back deck that stretches the full length of the house (and twinkle lights suspended from the trees PLUS a fire pit!), you may be telling your friends to WALK TO YOU. Renovated fully in 2017, this 3BR, 3 1/2 BA 1920s cutie pie strikes just the right notes between ''not too little, not too much.'' Heart pine floors, granite counters, gas cooktop, stainless appliances, separate laundry room, roomy pantry, PRIMARY BEDROOM DOWNSTAIRS, two bedrooms each with their own bathroom upstairs-this list STILL goes on. Recessed lighting, double vanities, tile bathroom floors, completely painted interior, newly painted exterior trim, deck freshly stained, porch painted ... there's nothing to do but unpack and then head to LouElla's to celebrate. On foot, of course. Inquire about assumable VA Loan.
