908 MONROE ST Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Perfectly located between the University of Mary Washington and downtown Fredericksburg, 908 Monroe St. offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the simple pleasures of one of America's most historic towns. It's tall white columns echo thoughts of a mini Mount Vernon in an area where George Washington grew up and just an easy walk to “Meditation rock” where George's mother Mary prayed for her son as he led our American revolution. This custom built home was originally owned by the Bean family who ran the nearby Virginia Shoe Factory and later sold to a prominent local attorney named Smith.
 
Featuring four bedrooms including a tandem bedroom/study/office on the second level plus a main level bedroom presently used as a music studio with its own bath and shower, this rare property offers ample options for its next owners. The large primary bedroom bath has been completely renovated including heated flooring and a multi headed walk-in shower. The recently restored slate walkway leads you to the majestic front portico and main entrance.

The moment you come inside the newly refinished hardwood flooring captures your attention and leads into the grand living room and the first of the two wood-burning fireplaces. Just beyond you'll fall in love with the inviting family room with its huge bay window offering a spectacular view of the fully fenced backyard and includes the second fireplace, perfect for watching autumn leaves turn or the falling snow in winter.
The main level hardwood also lead to the formal dining room and classic American kitchen where newer appliances including a gas stove await your culinary adventures. Just beyond the kitchen is a great sunroom with slate flooring giving you a convenient extra space that has room to expand the kitchen or enjoy your morning coffee.

This unique property is situated on a lot and a half and the extensive driveway leads to an oversized detached garage in back giving you great storage space, room for a workshop or whatever you desire. Even bonus attic spaces on the third level are conditioned and offer more exciting opportunities.

The current owners are just the third family to live here and they have prepared the way for the next owners with professional painting inside and out, new carpet and many more touches making this older classic move-in ready throughout it's over 3000 finished square feet of living space. Also, a new roof (2020), hot water heater (2019), recently serviced HVAC 2-zone system, FIOS 5-G internet and more await the next owners.
