About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to the McGrath House, a beautifully preserved and thoughtfully updated charming four bedroom Colonial, ideally situated in the historic district of Fredericksburg. Originally constructed in 1885 as a stable for John Berryman, this distinctive property blends 19th-century charm with modern convenience and comfort. A documented historical research report conducted by Historic Fredericksburg Foundation Inc (HFFI) is available for review. Nestled just two blocks from the VRE/Amtrak station and within easy walking distance to downtown’s vibrant shops, restaurants, and bars, this home offers both unmatched location and rare amenities—including hard-to-find off-street parking.
Lovingly maintained and expanded over the years with a tasteful two-story addition, this home showcases a host of architectural features that reflect its rich heritage including elaborate wooden brackets with turned linials under the eaves, original hand-blown glass windows in the historic portion of the home,
restored pine flooring, original woodwork and solid pine wood doors throughout the original main level,
and a striking New England pine mantel anchoring the living space with warmth and authenticity
The main level boasts an entry foyer, living room with a gas fireplace, separate dining room, powder room and 16 x 14 modern kitchen with a brick floor. The cozy breakfast area with French doors opens to a screened-in patio—perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. Step outside to a beautifully landscaped backyard that offers rare privacy in the heart of downtown. Upstairs living includes four well-appointed bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms and a laundry closet. The 16 x 14 primary suite has cathedral ceilings and an en-suite bath. Original pine flooring throughout most of the upper level. Whether you're commuting via rail or strolling through downtown’s historic streets, this rare offering combines timeless elegance with everyday practicality. Don’t miss your chance to own a unique piece of Fredericksburg history.
