Description
Open saturday, 2/8, from 1-4pm. welcome to 213 caroline street, an architectural masterpiece and the oldest remaining original structure on this historic street. built in 1764, this georgian-style brick estate stands as a landmark of american history, once home to dr. charles mortimer, fredericksburg’s first mayor and a trusted physician to mary ball washington. steeped in history yet seamlessly updated for modern living, this residence is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of the past.
inside, 18th-century charm is preserved in every detail, from the original heart of pine flooring to the intricately paneled rooms and ornate entablatures. the grand paneled parlor is among the home’s most remarkable spaces, a stunning showcase of handcrafted woodwork that has remained virtually untouched for centuries. this room, once the setting for gatherings of revolutionary war leaders, embodies the home’s rich and storied past.
beyond the main residence, the estate offers two additional structures: a one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house, perfect for visitors or private quarters, and a freestanding building currently designed as a golf simulator room—which could easily be converted into a garage or studio space. though this is an 18th-century home, it has been thoughtfully modernized with updated electrical and plumbing systems, ensuring 21st-century comfort while maintaining its historic integrity.
set on an expansive parcel spanning what would now be five city lots, this property boasts a rarely found backyard retreat with unobstructed views of the rappahannock river and ferry farm, the childhood home of george washington. the spacious back porch provides the perfect setting for entertaining or enjoying the tranquil, private surroundings, all while being in the heart of the downtown fredericksburg historic district.
blending historic elegance with modern comfort, the home features a sun-filled rear addition with a gourmet kitchen and an inviting family room, designed to capture breathtaking sunset views over the river. its prime location allows for a short walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and amtrak’s northeast corridor, offering a seamless connection to major cities.
a true masterpiece of architecture and history, 213 caroline street is an extraordinary offering—one of fredericksburg’s most significant residences, perfectly preserved for the next generation. please note, the total bedroom/bathroom count includes the main residence (4br/3ba) and the guest house (1br/1ba).
