About This Home
As of December 2023This house has been a wonderful home for our family for many years. We hope the next owners will continue to fill their rooms with love, joy, and laughter. Charming Cape Cod is full of character that is hard to find in newer houses: plaster walls, hardwood floors, secret nooks, and mature landscaping. Quaint tree-lined street in quiet neighborhood with wonderful neighbors. 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths in a wonderful location in Below-the-College (or College Terrace) neighborhood. One block from UMW campus, 2 blocks from Memorial Park (Kenmore Park), and 10-minute walk to the heart of downtown Fredericksburg. Roof replaced in 2009, new Pella wood windows in 2011, ductless AC/heat pumps were added in 2012. Other desirable features include wood wood-burning fireplace (easily converted to natural gas), radiator heat, single-car detached garage with an opener, and one off-street parking spot. The fully finished basement can be used as separate suite (has private exterior entrance) and can also provide rental income (with full kitchen and washer/dryer), new carpet in 2021, 5th bedroom NTC. Separate heating/cooling for basement as well. Generous yard for city with beautiful gardens and flower beds, mature trees.
What the seller loves about this home

Off street parking (2 spots) including a useable garage with automatic door. Fully finished basement with full kitchen, bathroom, shower, bedroom NTC. Charming character throughout the home.
