Property Description
Historic Basse Block Craftsman — A Fredericksburg Treasure. Step into a piece of Fredericksburg history with this exceptional hand-crafted Basse block executive home, built in 1916 by Mr. Hugo Basse, inventor of the distinctive Basse block. Rich in history and architectural character, this beautifully preserved 4-bedroom, 2-bath home is currently operating as a City-permitted short-term rental accommodating up to 10 guests, yet it would be equally ideal as a full-time residence. The thoughtful floor plan features a spacious primary suite with adjoining bath on the main level, along with three additional bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. The Craftsman character shines through with original long-leaf pine floors, original trim work, and built-in Stein cabinetry. Recent updates to the bathrooms and laundry room blend modern convenience with the home's historic charm. The kitchen is a true focal point, featuring matching custom cabinetry and a Viking range. A spacious sunroom provides a wonderful place to relax while overlooking the lovely backyard. The generous lot is framed by a magnificent heritage oak at the front curb, creating a memorable welcome for visitors. An expansive front porch practically begs for rocking chairs and leisurely afternoons. The backyard includes a covered patio area, hot tub, and a garden area filled with vintage irises, adding another touch of timeless Fredericksburg character. Adding versatility and guest accommodations is an approximately 391-square-foot guest house that sleeps two, plus a detached two-car garage with convenient entry from S. Acorn Street. The location is hard to beat—just two blocks from Main Street and Fredericksburg's celebrated restaurants, shopping, nightlife, and entertainment, with easy access to the renowned 290 Wine Trail. Whether you're looking for a distinctive historic residence, a proven hospitality property, or both, this remarkable Basse block home offers an exceptional opportunity in the heart of Fredericksburg. Furnishings are available for purchase separately. This property lies within the City of Fredericksburg Historic District and is subject to the rules and regulations of the District. STR Permit #8056001785.
