See the contents of the sectin "where, in the case of an assessee being an individual or a Hindu undivided family, the capital gain arises from the transfer of a long-term capital asset, being buildings or lands appurtenant thereto, and being a residential house, the income of which is chargeable under the head "Income from house property........"
So they used the word lands and buildings... so mostly you will get exemtion for both the houses
