Whether the USPS will issue an additional address or not has no bearing
on the legal use of the domicile outside local zoning regulations. OP
could possibly get a dozen more USPS addresses but whether he can sublet
or effectively turn a house into a duplex in a single-residence zoned
area and get away with it will depend on his local jurisdiction (and to
a large part his neighbors if outside the zoning regulations).

It is simply not wise to buy a property on a premise w/o being certain
of all legal covenants/restrictions on that property. The existence or
not of a USPS delivery address isn't one of those even though it may
currently exist and an additional one might be granted.

First of all I agree completely with what you are saying but that fact that
it has two electric meters indicates that it was used for two residences. I
doubt the electric company would have installed a second meter if it was not
allowed by the county/city. My question is where does the second meter go?
