Step back in time at The Decker House, a historically significant 1838 Federal-style home offering timeless charm, modern comforts, and a powerful Civil War legacy. Perched on 1.74 acres along River Road near the Rappahannock River, this home once served as a strategic site during the Battle of Fredericksburg. General Robert E. Lee positioned Confederate troops on the property's high ground to oversee Banks Ford, and the home itself sheltered families seeking refuge. Today, original battle scars remain-a cannonball indent in front of the living room fireplace and preserved gunfire marks in the original front door-authentic reminders of its place in American history. The Federal-style design features a central hall running the length of the home, flanked by gracious living spaces on either side. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, the upstairs sitting area often used as a 4th bedroom, the home offers both flexibility and charm. Throughout, you'll find five fireplaces, hardwood floors, and built-ins that showcase its architectural character. Thoughtful updates, which modernized the home while preserving its historic soul. The English basement kitchen boasts granite countertops, new cabinetry, fireplace, and stainless appliances. Electrical and plumbing systems have been updated, and comfort upgrades include Mitsubishi ductless air conditioning and a pellet stove. A durable metal roof adds both longevity and peace of mind. The property itself retains echoes of the past, with remnants of the original detached kitchen still standing behind the home. Mature trees, wide lawns, and nearly two acres of land provide privacy and natural beauty-while the location offers convenience to Downtown Fredericksburg, Motts Run Reservoir, Wineries, Shopping, Trails and commuter routes. With its rich heritage, preserved architectural detail, and modern updates, The Decker House presents a rare opportunity: a private residence steeped in story, or a potential Bed & Breakfast/heritage retreat for history lovers.
