Historic Country Estate on 2 Private Acres - A Rare Opportunity Welcome to one of Fredericksburg's most unique rental properties-a home where history, character, and modern comfort come together to create an unforgettable place to live. Situated on nearly 2 private, park-like acres, this exceptional home offers approximately 4,500 square feet of finished living space, including 3,300 square feet above grade, while preserving a remarkable piece of local history. The homesite was originally home to a one-room schoolhouse dating back to the Civil War era. Rather than being lost to time, portions of that historic structure were thoughtfully incorporated into the home. Today, you can still see the original tin roof of the schoolhouse from the attic, providing a unique glimpse into the property's rich past and making this home unlike any other in the area. Inside, you'll enjoy timeless craftsmanship paired with tasteful modern updates. Hardwood floors flow throughout the home, complemented by three fireplaces that create warmth and character in every season. The updated kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a modern cooktop, double ovens, generous workspace, and ample storage-perfect for preparing everything from weeknight dinners to holiday gatherings. Step outside and experience your own private retreat. Spend quiet mornings beside the serene koi pond, host family and friends on the expansive wraparound deck, or enjoy evenings around the custom concrete outdoor kitchen and fire pit patio. The grounds have been thoughtfully maintained and offer endless opportunities to relax, entertain, or pursue your favorite outdoor hobbies.
