Property details

About 1606 Charles St

Welcome to the perfect blend of historic charm and modern living in this beautifully rebuilt 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in downtown Fredericksburg. Originally built in 1914, this home has been taken down to the studs and thoughtfully reimagined with a spacious addition. While the original hardwood floors were preserved, everything else is brand new—plumbing, electrical, HVAC, siding, windows, roof—you name it! This is truly a new construction home with timeless character. Start your day or unwind in the evening on the welcoming front porch—the perfect place to relax and chat with neighbors. Inside, you'll find sun-filled living spaces, including a front living room and a flexible room that could serve as a dining room, office, or playroom—each showcasing the home's original wood flooring and charm. Step into the heart of the home: a bright, open-concept kitchen and living space. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinets, a walk-in pantry, and a large island with seating and storage on both sides. There’s plenty of space for a dining table and a cozy sitting area, with sliding glass doors that lead out to a large backyard—a rare find downtown! Whether you’re hosting friends, creating a firepit hangout, or giving kids and pets room to play, this backyard offers endless possibilities. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is a true retreat with room for a sitting area or workspace. The en suite bath includes a double vanity and a beautifully tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a convenient laundry room complete the upper level. Located just outside the hustle and bustle of downtown Fredericksburg, you're close enough to walk to restaurants, shops, and entertainment, but tucked far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of Fredericksburg’s history—rebuilt for today’s lifestyle!
