Lovers of History! This is the home for you! Located across the street from where Union soldiers in December of 1862 crossed the Rappahannock River to attack the city of Fredericksburg. This 2 story home was the only one still standing in the 1300 block of Sophia Street after the attack. It was built in 1827 and is known as the Mander House, but sometimes referred to as the Hancock House. The lot across the street is vacant and is owned by the National Park Service. Sit on your front porch and enjoy a beautiful view of the Rappahannock River and magnificent Chatham Manor. Sit on your back porch and enjoy a lovely private brick patio in the fenced-in backyard. Is a garage important to you? If so, this property is the one . …2 car garage accessed from the city alley. Very warm and charming home. Hardwood floors and some of the floors are lovely heart pine. The kitchen is well designed for those who love to cook.
