Property Description
Located downtown on prestigious Washington Avenue in historic Fredericksburg, Virginia, this fully-renovated 7400 + sqft estate sits on a corner lot surrounded by historic monuments. One of the finest homes in the area, it sits across the street from a large treed park w/ tennis & pickle ball courts & in walking distance to Olde Towne shops & restaurants. The 1908 Queen Anne was thoroughly remodeled, expanded and lovingly restored by the current owner in 2014.
The personal home of a renowned Virginia interior designer specializing in historic renovation, every luxurious detail has been crafted to create a one-of-a-kind environment.
The exterior boasts a quintessentially southern wraparound porch with new copper roof & maintenance-free decking. The oversized brick sidewalks continue the theme in the rear, fully enclosed bluestone patio, complete w/ brick fireplace, softly lit brick columns, four distinct garden “rooms” and mature perennial plantings. The two-car garage flanking the rear yard houses a custom-built side-shed perfect for gardening tools, etc.
Upon entering the home through the stately double doors, the reclaimed rich oak floors are thoughtfully designed with a herringbone center “hallway” designed to delineate the multiple living spaces. On the left is a large sunny living room w/ original bay window overlooking the parklike setting. Beyond this area is a stately dining room w/ beveled glass built-in cabinetry & an adjoining gourmet kitchen/pantry/family room with wood burning fireplace that was carefully designed w/ togetherness in mind.
Tucked on the right is a third sitting area with built-in bookcases & a gas-burning fire-place complete w/ custom designed and imported Italian tile. Immediately adjacent to this space is the wide open stunning staircase that climbs regally from the main floor to the top level, accentuated by gorgeous stained glass windows, custom wainscoting & a custom made lantern adorning the setting.
The oversized mudroom features built-in cabinetry & ample closets that would easily service a large family. Rounding out the first floor of this stately home is the inviting sunroom, well-designed to appear as a former open porch that has been closed in. With brick floor, exterior siding, a beadboard ceiling, casement windows & pocket antique beveled glass doors designed to separate it from the family room if one chooses, this quiet nook provides a cherished spot to sit and overlook the rear gardens & patio.
The luxurious kitchen was designed with multiple users in mind, featuring distinct “work stations”, three of which offer Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer drawers. Creating a clean, calm environment, the small appliances are concealed behind clever sliding doors & the dual dishwashers, sinks, Thermador gas range and full standing freezer and refrigerator are carefully integrated into the custom cabinetry & surrounded by casement windows and Italian Vicostone quartz. The huge walk-in pantry and adjacent bar w/ wine refrigerator complete the unparalleled dream kitchen.
The large, bright second floor boasts original heart pine floors, 4 oversized bedrooms, 3 large bathrooms w/ custom tile & cabinetry, & luxurious fixtures, & a huge laundry room complete w/ built-in cabinetry, oversized sink, custom drying racks & large linen closet.
The primary suite takes luxury & elegance to the next level w/ a large footprint, bath featuring heated Carrera marble flooring, a multi-fixtured oversized glass steam shower, free-standing tub, bidet, his & hers sinks, frosted lower windows, a huge separate vanity area, & a custom 14x14 closet with freestanding center island. Two fully furnished and climate-controlled bonus areas round out the living spaces & include a large functional lower level & a converted full-height attic space which was fully restored architecturally and aesthetically. Two oversized unfinished storage spaces featuring built-in shelving galore in the Attic & Lower level.
