This beautiful home located on Lower Caroline in the Fredericksburg Historic District was completely renovated throughout 2020, with the new owners moving in during January 2021. The location is a commuter’s dream with easy access to I-95, and just 2 blocks to the VRE Station and historic downtown. A short walk to all of the great things about city living to include the local farmer's market, antique stores, high end eateries, breweries, coffee shops, art galleries, and one-of-a kind boutiques. An even shorter walk to City Dock on the Rappahannock River where you can launch your kayak or stand-up paddle board, go fishing and birdwatching, or even enjoy a picnic. The original home, built in 1887, was taken down to the studs to create the gorgeous, efficient, and modern home that it is today. All plumbing and electrical components were replaced at that time, as well. It is absolutely loaded with custom upgrades and features throughout while still retaining its historic charm - to include the original stairs and banister, and exposed brick chimney in the living room/second primary bedroom on the main level. The large rear addition includes a private owner’s suite upstairs, and a generous great room and gourmet kitchen beneath it on the main level. The kitchen features quartz countertops, upgraded cabinetry, high-end commercial style stainless steel appliances, a Barclay Gwen white fireclay farmhouse sink, and beautiful Italian white tile backsplash. White Oak Select multi-sized hardwood flooring throughout, and beautiful tile work in each of the 3 full bathrooms. The exterior highlights/renovations include a metal standing seam roof, beautiful front sitting porch, stunning rear flagstone covered patio, detached garage (fully insulated with HVAC), and dedicated off-street parking, a true luxury in the city. The show stopping curb appeal is showcased by a meticulously landscaped yard with a large (cedar) fence in the backyard and a multi-zoned smart sprinkler system (app controlled) to keep the grass beautiful and green. The real beauty of this property is the flexibility to use the generous spaces as you wish. There are two primary bedroom suites -- both with walk-in closets and ensuite bathrooms -- one located downstairs and the other upstairs. If you prefer, use the downstairs suite as a living area as these owners have chosen to do. Upstairs, the primary suite has a lovely view of the landscaped backyard with windows on two sides to allow the sun to stream through. Two additional bedrooms can be sleeping quarters or one can serve as a home office. The one car garage is currently used as a 2nd home office and gym but you can certainly park your car here if you prefer. The modern aesthetic of this home defies its history and blends the two beautifully in a welcoming place to call your own. Located on a no-thru street with alley access to the private parking you just can't beat this location. The Historic Fredericksburg Foundation has provided a printed history of the property and the plaque on the front porch designates it as a home of significance in our city.
