About the Listing CBE11 - 100766
Built in 1898 as one of three matching Victorian residences that have become a beloved landmark along historic Caroline Street, this distinguished home offers a rare opportunity to own one of Fredericksburg's cherished Original Three Sisters. Lovingly maintained and thoughtfully updated for more than a century, its graceful proportions, original architectural details, and enduring craftsmanship have been preserved while embracing the comforts and peace of mind desired for modern living. Located in Fredericksburg's Historic Downtown District, the home places the city's best attractions just outside your door. Stroll to locally owned restaurants, boutiques, parks, galleries, and year-round community events while enjoying the charm of one of Virginia's most celebrated historic neighborhoods. Just across Caroline Street, French John's Wharf provides convenient access to the Rappahannock River for both recreation and a connection to Fredericksburg's rich history. Whether casting a line at a favorite local fishing spot, launching a kayak or paddleboard, or simply taking in the river views, this unique amenity is just steps from your front door. Looking for more River and green space accessibility, Old Mill Park is within easy reach with playgrounds, pavilions and designated river access. Inside, natural light fills spacious rooms where original hardwood floors, beautifully preserved and never refinished, showcase the craftsmanship and character that have defined this home for generations, along with timeless millwork and architectural details reflect the home's rich history. The main level offers exceptional flexibility with a bedroom and full bath, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or a private home office with its own rear entrance. The kitchen flows easily into the home's gathering spaces, creating a comfortable setting for everyday living and entertaining alike. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms include a spacious primary suite with an updated bath featuring a walk-in shower and two closets with one being a walk-in closet. A second full bath on the hall next to the laundry room serves the remaining bedrooms. Beyond its historic character, the home has been carefully maintained with significant upgrades and mechanical updates, including a new furnace (2024), water heater (2020), and HVAC system (2018), allowing the next owner to enjoy the home's history with added confidence. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard, fountain and brick patio create a private outdoor garden retreat, while the detached two-car garage with electricity provides a rare downtown amenity with endless possibilities for parking, storage, hobbies, a workshop, or future EV charging. Offering five bedrooms, three full baths, timeless character, and an exceptional downtown location, 1518 Caroline Street is more than a historic home—it's an opportunity to write the next chapter of one of Fredericksburg's most recognizable residences.
