BACK ON THE MARKET - No Fault of the Seller - Impeccably preserved, with a touch of modern comforts a 1939 Two story colonial with basement and full attic with stair case to enter. This home was originally built for a well-known doctor in the area. The exterior exudes power as it sits on top a hill far off the street. A paved wrap around driveway that would allow a multitude of off street parking if necessary. The irrigated front lawn and sidewalk is separated by a beautiful brick wall that extends the width of all 3 lots. Located near the end of a no thru street the traffic is very little to none. This house and its exterior features are spread modestly among 2.5 large lots in downtown Fredericksburg. This one-of-a-kind property is 3900 square foot, 4 bed 3.5 bathroom home with finished basement. A third story attic with staircase access, also with original wood floors, this room has so much character and leaves so many different possibilities for use as living space. The finished laundry room is located in the lower level of the house next to a full bathroom. There is also a large recreational room with pool table and wood burning fireplace with original carved wood hearth and custom built in shelving. Outside of the house is a Car Enthusiast's dream, a detached 3 car garage/workshop custom built in craftsman tool boxes with countertops for storage of all your tools. The garage sits on its own lot with its own power and water meters. It has newer HVAC system. Inside two of the bay doors you will find automotive lifts, which can be used to work on your own vehicles or to store vehicles above and below. Across the yard is the outdoor cabana off the side of the indoor pool house, to include a 5th full bath with modern floor to ceiling tile in the spa like shower. A dry bar just inside one of the two sets of true French style patio doors that opens to the covered cabana. So many hidden upgrades to this home there is just too much to list. No expense was spared on the upgrades this home has endured and you can be sure that you are buying a solid well constructed, well maintained historic home. Be the fourth owner of this 83 year old home that had a better inspection report then many newer homes in the area. This home is truly one of a kind and a must see! This sale price includes all tax maps: 1/2 of Lot 7, Lot 8, and Lot 9 - Lot 9 could be separated, there is room for another house to be built in front of the garage.
