Own a piece of Fredericksburg history in the heart of downtown, now offered at $1,025,000 with a seller credit of up to 3% available with an acceptable offer. Credit can be used toward allowable expenses and closing costs, discount points or an interest-rate buydown. Built in 1898 by Edgar W. Mills, 1518 Caroline Street is one of the Original Three Sisters, three distinctive Italianate Victorian homes that have stood together along Caroline Street for more than 125 years. Set on a prominent corner lot in Historic Downtown Fredericksburg, the property offers a combination that is especially hard to find downtown: generous living space, a landscaped yard and dedicated off-street parking in a detached two-car garage. Downtown restaurants, shops, galleries, parks and the Rappahannock River a re all nearby, while the property provides the added convenience of outdoor space and private parking at home. Inside, bright and generously sized rooms retain many of the details that give the home its character. Original hardwood floors that have never been refinished, pocket doors, classic millwork and architectural features reflect more than a century of craftsmanship and care. With five bedrooms and three full baths, the floor plan offers flexibility for a variety of uses. The main level includes a bedroom and full bath with a separate rear entrance for accessibility as well as creating options for guests, multigenerational living or a private home office. The kitchen is positioned between the adjoining eat-in area and formal dining room, creating an easy connection between everyday living and entertaining. Gracious living spaces throughout the main level provide plenty of room to gather while preserving the character and architectural definition of the home. Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with an updated private bath, walk-in shower and two closets, including a walk-in. One of the additional bedrooms is currently used as an office. A second full bath and conveniently located upstairs laundry serve the additional bedrooms. Outside, mature landscaping surrounds a brick patio and fountain, creating a private garden retreat in the middle of downtown. The corner setting provides additional outdoor space, while the detached two-car garage with electricity offers coveted off-street parking along with room for storage, hobbies or a workshop. Historic Downtown Fredericksburg is just outside the front door, with locally owned restaurants, shops, galleries, Market Square, the farmers market, parks and community events all close by. Just across Caroline Street, French John’s Wharf provides access to the Rappahannock River for kayaking, paddleboarding and fishing. Old Mill Park offers additional river access, a playground and green space nearby. The home has also received important updates over the years, including a new furnace in 2024, water heater in 2020 and HVAC system in 2018, along with ongoing improvements to the siding and roof. Historic homes like this aren’t built again. They are cared for, passed forward and given new chapters. At 1518 Caroline Street, the next one is waiting to be written.
