Property History

This property has it all -- Located on fashionable Washington Avenue midway between the "Kenmore" plantation house built by Patriot Lieutenant Fielding Lewis and his wife, Betty Washington Lewis (sister of President George Washington) and the Monument to honor his mother, Mary Washington. In addition, outside the front walkway is the monument to Dr. Hugh Mercer who was famous for the Battle of Princeton. All of the amenities we love are in the residence -- 10-foot ceilings, sparkling hardwood floors, transoms, 4 fireplaces, exquisite woodwork, second staircase, butler's pantry, and more. Modern updates and improvements have been seamlessly added to fit the house in a quiet way. The two finished floors have 2,559 square feet. The floored attic with its own wide staircase is light-filled and enhanced by handsome tripartite windows as well as double lancet windows. The basement is presently storage space but could be additional living space if desired. The city of Historic Fredericksburg is just 50 miles south of Washington, D.C. and 50 miles north of Richmond.
