901 Monroe St Fredericksburg, VA 22401

Absolutely Lovely! Make this YOUR distinguished Downtown home. Poised at the corner of Littlepage and Monroe, this charming 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 amazing, highly coveted neighborhood is conveniently tucked between the glamorous shops of Historic Downtown and the breathtaking campus of University of Mary Washington. Its IDEAL LOCATION is where this home truly shines-- you will go days without driving, as peaceful sidewalk strolls call your name. It's a beautiful walk to restaurants, businesses, the high school, the riverfront, a grocery store, library, multiple parks, canal path, hospital, friends and all the goings on of Historic Downtown Fredericksburg. 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-- and you can feel it. The dining room flows into the recently renovated kitchen, sweetly showing brand new granite countertops, tile backsplash, new Samsung refrigerator, new built-in LG microwave, new gas stove 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 adds extra space for your pantry items, and offers a private back door to the garage. Ceiling fans will send along a gentle breeze, as all your windows open and have new ropes. A discreet half bath can be entered directly from the kitchen or the hallway for enhanced functionality. There's a bump-out that could become your breakfast room, bar, home office or spot 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 yard 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 documents for quote on adding Central AC or repairing chimney cap. This is the opportunity of a lifetime! Priced to sell.
