Located downtown on prestigious washington avenue in historic fredericksburg, virginia, this fully-renovated 7400 + sqft estate sits on a corner lot surrounded by historic monuments. one of the finest homes in the area, it sits across the street from a large treed park w/ tennis & pickle ball courts & in walking distance to olde towne shops & restaurants. the 1908 queen anne was thoroughly remodeled, expanded and lovingly restored by the current owner in 2014.
the personal home of a renowned virginia interior designer specializing in historic renovation, every luxurious detail has been crafted to create a one-of-a-kind environment.
the exterior boasts a quintessentially southern wraparound porch with new copper roof & maintenance-free decking. the oversized brick sidewalks continue the theme in the rear, fully enclosed bluestone patio, complete w/ brick fireplace, softly lit brick columns, four distinct garden “rooms” and mature perennial plantings. the two-car garage flanking the rear yard houses a custom-built side-shed perfect for gardening tools, etc.
upon entering the home through the stately double doors, the reclaimed rich oak floors are thoughtfully designed with a herringbone center “hallway” designed to delineate the multiple living spaces. on the left is a large sunny living room w/ original bay window overlooking the parklike setting. beyond this area is a stately dining room w/ beveled glass built-in cabinetry & an adjoining gourmet kitchen/pantry/family room with wood burning fireplace that was carefully designed w/ togetherness in mind.

the oversized mudroom features built-in cabinetry & ample closets that would easily service a large family. rounding out the first floor of this stately home is the inviting sunroom, well-designed to appear as a former open porch that has been closed in. with brick floor, exterior siding, a beadboard ceiling, casement windows & pocket antique beveled glass doors designed to separate it from the family room if one chooses, this quiet nook provides a cherished spot to sit and overlook the rear gardens & patio.
the luxurious kitchen was designed with multiple users in mind, featuring distinct “work stations”, three of which offer sub-zero refrigerator/freezer drawers. creating a clean, calm environment, the small appliances are concealed behind clever sliding doors & the dual dishwashers, sinks, thermador gas range and full standing freezer and refrigerator are carefully integrated into the custom cabinetry & surrounded by casement windows and italian vicostone quartz. the huge walk-in pantry and adjacent bar w/ wine refrigerator complete the unparalleled dream kitchen.
