About this property

Quiet Historic Apartment with Work Space

Welcome to this historic home! This apartment is in downtown Fredericksburg and is nestled in a quiet neighborhood that is a few blocks walking distance to the vibrant downtown commercial scene, so you won't hear noise at night. The bedroom has a queen size bed, dresser, comfortable easy chair, and walk-in closet with extra linens and towels, and you'll find a sofa bed in the living room. Full washer/dryer inside the apartment, full kitchen with everything you could possibly need, full bathroom with tub/shower combo, very inviting front porch with rocking chairs to sit with morning coffee or glass of wine.

You'll find an abundance of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, art galleries, yoga studios downtown. We even provide you with a yoga mat for your use during your stay. Visit the numerous historic sites such as George Washington's mother's house or take a trolley ride to the various places that hold historic significance.

Want a quaint experience? Take a horse & carriage ride down Caroline Street, the town's main commercial street lined with coffee shops, restaurants, and eclectic shops. You are literally staying in the spot where the famous Civil War Battle of Fredericksburg took place in 1862. Also nearby is the Heritage Trail where you can jog or walk along the tree-lined canal. The Rappahannock River is two blocks away, where you can canoe or kayak. Give Virginia Outdoor Center a call for rental information.

And if you are a tennis or pickleball enthusiast, nearby Kenmore Park has several beautiful FREE courts plus restrooms surrounded by trees where you can play any time before dark (see photo). Mornings and later afternoons brings lots of friendly players who will welcome you. Street parking is available, just watch for signs that say resident permit required.

If you'd like to see what our town looks like, take a look at a Youtube video by the singer Huntley. He is a native Fredericksburg resident and recently won first place on The Voice! His music video "Holdin' On" was filmed all over town.

The University of Mary Washington has a large cultural center with lectures, art galleries, and performances throughout the year. And the nearby Riverside Theatre for the Performing Arts is a local dinner theatre that holds popular musicals.

Upon arrival, you will find a Welcome Package that provides all the information you need during your stay, such as local eateries, grocery stores, pharmacies, visitors' center, and we include a small gift for you to say "thank you" for booking with us!

About the host

We love the energy and great vibe of downtown historic Fredericksburg! So many restaurants, shops, art galleries, and historic sites to visit. We ride bicycles along the Canal Path and spend Saturday mornings at our favorite local coffee shop (Agora Downtown, it's the BEST!). We've lived here more than 20 years and plan to stay forever!

Why they chose this property

The property is in a quiet residential neighborhood just a few blocks from the center of downtown activity. Neighbors are friendly, the Canal Path and Rappahannock River are also within walking distance. Did we mention Carl's ice cream shop, a local walk-up venue? The best soft-serve ice cream in town!

What makes this property unique

The house is over 120 years old (updated to modern standards, of course), and is situated smack in the middle of where the famous Civil War battle of Fredericksburg took place in December 1862.
