205 Princess Elizabeth St, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

A rare opportunity to rent a beautifully preserved historic home just 1.5 blocks from the VRE/Amtrak station in the historic district of Fredericksburg, VA. This home of approximately 1,082 sq. ft. has original 18th century woodwork, moldings and hardwood floors. Enter into a beautiful front hall (14.6' x 6.5'), a living room (16' x 14') and fireplace with gas logs, and an office (10' x 10') with built in shelves, a washer/dryer and a half-bath. Walk upstairs to the bedroom (15' x 14') with a closed fireplace, a hall closet, a large hall clothes rack and a closet with shelves and continue on into the full bathroom. Go downstairs to a large, cozy 16' x 13' English basement (half above ground) with a brick floor, large exposed ceiling beams, windows, a fireplace with gas logs and a kitchen (12.5' x 7.7') with a refrigerator, stove, lots of cabinet space and shelves. The second floor has gas furnace heat and central AC. The first floor and basement have the independent, desirable, efficient AC and heating units in each room. There is a backyard brick patio with metal furniture, an original smokehouse, and a large, fenced-in yard with grass, herbs, a garden area, shrubs and trees. Parking is on the street in front of the house. (In 14 years, I easily found parking in front of this house every day except one, when I parked 1/2 block away.) The area is designated permit parking. This home is perfect for 1 person or a couple, is two blocks from the City Dock, a block and a half walk to the Fredericksburg VRE and Amtrak station, and 2 to 8 blocks from the numerous downtown restaurants and shops in historic Fredericksburg. Rental lease is for one year, and renewable year to year. Landlord carries a heating/cooling contract with twice a year cleaning and emergency servicing. Tenant pays all utilities. Previous renters (of the past 4 years) shared their 12-month utility bill averages: Electricity-$270/month Gas-$38/month Water/trash/recycle-$147 every two months Verizon WIFI-$55 I recommend tenants carry renter insurance, as my insurance ONLY covers the house.
