901 Monroe St, Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Absolutely Lovely and Priced to Sell! Poised at the corner of Littlepage and Monroe, this distinguished 1932 home is a block from Kenmore Park (tennis courts, pickleball, basketball, dog parks, 2 playgrounds, picnic areas) and less than a mile from the VRE/Amtrack train station. This highly coveted neighborhood is conveniently tucked between the glamorous shops of Historic Downtown and the breathtaking campus of University of Mary Washington. IDEAL LOCATION is where this home truly shines-- you can go days without driving, taking beautiful walks to the restaurants, businesses, high school, riverfront, grocery store, library, multiple parks, canal path, hospital, friends and all the goings on of Historic Downtown. With stately all-brick architecture, this home's traditional layout feels comfortable and cozy while honoring the past. The main entrance preserves the original brass door knocker, and the covered and lit portico is elegantly framed by windows, a double-sided brick stairway and wrought-iron banisters. Freshly painted throughout, with newly refinished hardwood flooring, this home has been deeply cared for and loved for nearly 100 years. The dining room flows into the recently renovated kitchen, showing off printed Quartz countertops, tile backsplash, new Samsung refrigerator, new built-in LG microwave, new Samsung gas smart range and oven, new double sink, and newly painted cabinets with new hardware. A glassed-in kitchen porch and closet serves as a mud room or pantry, and offers a private back door to the garage. A discreet half bath can be entered directly from the kitchen or hallway for enhanced functionality. There's a bump-out that could become your breakfast room, bar, home office or space for a piano. The graciously sized and light-filled living room, with built-in book shelves and a wood-burning fireplace, is perfect for family gatherings or entertaining. The fireplace has a removable metal curtain and glass door, and the chimney has a metal liner. Relaxing on your screened-in porch while overlooking the quiet street will feel like stepping back in time. Upstairs, the 2nd floor hosts 4 bedrooms and a full bathroom with classic black and white tiles and tub with shower. Each bedroom has closets and the hallway has 2 linen closets and room for a tiny window seat. Most doorknobs are the original crystal and brass. The finished 3rd floor is perfect for an artist's studio, guest bedroom, or additional living space with its own full bath with tub and shower and generous storage. Thanks to your one-car driveway and one-car garage, you'll have invaluable off-street parking. If you adore the authentic charm, don't change a thing! It's recently renovated, but maintains classic details like the telephone cubby and built-in ironing board. However-- if you ever want to expand the footprint or finish the basement into a rec room, gym or movie room, there's a huge opportunity for investing. Standing high on a corner lot, 901 Monroe has plenty of room for an addition on BOTH the expansive right side or toward the detached brick garage. The basement has a sink, toilet, washer/dryer hookups, 2023 50-gallon Hot Water Heater and a separate set of stairs to the back yard. Radiator heat serves all 4 floors-- and it's the greatest heat available! Furnace was just inspected and is in excellent condition. Floors 1, 2 and 3 are served by window units for AC. See Virtual Tour and documents for quote on adding Central AC on all 4 floors for under $40K. This is the opportunity of a lifetime! Motivated Seller.
