About This Home

Welcome to this adorable Chatham Heights bungalow, where classic 1940s character meets modern efficiency. Perfectly positioned for the urban explorer, this home sits just steps away from the new sidewalks and bridge—offering a scenic stroll directly over the river and straight into the heart of Downtown Fredericksburg. The interior has been thoughtfully curated with designer-approved colors that highlight the warm, classic hardwood floors and original wood-trimmed doorways. While the aesthetic remains timeless, the "bones" have been brought into the future with brand-new high-efficiency windows and updated insulation, ensuring year-round comfort. Rare for a home this close to the city center, you’ll find an impressive amount of versatile living space: The main level features two sun-drenched bedrooms and a recently updated kitchen with ample cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances and room for your kitchen table for dining. Tucked in refrigeration and no space spared for storage! A recent addition provides a dedicated office/study—perfect for the remote professional—and a generous primary suite sitting area that doubles as an expansive dressing room. Retreat to the finished basement, designed as a cozy cinema and family room with abundant integrated storage. Start your mornings on the quintessential front porch, perfectly sized for a classic rocker & bistro set. In the evening, head through the kitchen’s French doors to the back deck for al-fresco dining. The backyard is anchored by a magnificent, majestic old oak tree and offers a blank canvas for your dream garden or vegetable patch. Modern convenience is seamlessly integrated here, from the mounted television and soundbar in the living room to the quaint kitchen sink overlooking the yard. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in-ready piece of Fredericksburg history at an accessible price point. Modern conveniences, classic charm, and a location that can’t be beat. Your downtown lifestyle starts here.
