Step back in time with this delightful 1936 Dutch colonial, perfectly situated below the University in downtown Fredericksburg. Sitting on a wide, level lot with rear alley access for off-street parking, this home boasts timeless curb appeal with its slate roof, inviting front porch, and classic colonial architecture. Inside, the home is brimming with character. Beautiful hardwood floors, arched doorways, crown molding, wood burning fireplace and wood stove accent the homes traditional layout. The main level features a bedroom and full bathroom, offering convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and an additional full bathroom, while the third-story attic—with its tall ceilings—presents an exciting opportunity to create a home office, studio, or extra storage space. The unfinished cellar offers a wood stove, a full bathroom, laundry area, and ample space to bring your creative ideas to life. This home offers unparalleled potential but needs major TLC to restore it to its full glory. The price reflects the repairs required, and the property is being sold as-is. Nestled in a walkable downtown location, you’re just steps from parks, shops, dining, and the VRE, blending convenience and charm. Don’t miss the chance to transform this vintage colonial into your dream home!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
