About This Home

TWO INDIVIDUALLY PERMITTED SHORT TERM RENTAL. | Exceptional Fredericksburg Opportunity Own a truly distinctive piece of Fredericksburg history with this rare “2-for-1” investment opportunity featuring two individually permitted short-term rentals totaling over 2200 SQ FT. The Travis House, a beautifully updated Stein-built Craftsman-style home circa 1923, was once the residence of one of Fredericksburg's early mayors, Mr. Mittendorf. Rich in authentic character and thoughtfully furnished with modern comforts, this inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers timeless appeal throughout. Original wood floors, exquisite cabinetry, and a charming dining room hutch reflect its historic roots, while crown molding and abundant natural light enhance the warm, welcoming living space. The living room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and comfortably appointed with leather seating and a wall-mounted flatscreen TV—perfect for relaxing evenings. The fully equipped kitchen sits above approximately 200 square feet of climate-controlled basement space, ideal for a game room, wine cellar, or additional lounge area. Tucked behind the main home, the Travis Cottage is a private 1-bedroom, 1-bath studio suite with its own entrance and outdoor seating area. Once a Model T carport, it has been meticulously transformed into a charming retreat featuring shiplap walls, open beam ceilings, a king-size bed, a large soaking tub with handheld shower, and a convenient coffee bar with refrigerator. The beautifully landscaped grounds offer multiple seating areas, mature gardens, and ample off-street parking. A private water well with an electric submersible pump is also in place. Ideally located just a short walk to historic Main Street—home to renowned restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and bistros—and only minutes from the Texas Hill Country Wine Trail, this property delivers both charm and convenience. With outstanding guest reviews and proven rental performance, this is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey investment in one of Texas' most sought-after destinations. STR permit 8056001063 and 8056001033 Financials available upon request. IN HISTORIC DISTRICT.
