This c. 1940's home is just two blocks from the expanded pacific War Gallery/Nimitz Museum and Fredericksburg's historic Main Street. Acquired as a 1940's mess 5 years ago by the current owners, this home has undergone a remarkable transformation. Walls were removed, ceilings were raised, floors were replaced, plumbing/electrical systems were updated and the Basse Block tank house was transformed into a comfortable guest suite. All the charm and character of "the old" remains but is encased within a shell of "the modern".
The main home contains 1,325 s.f. (per GCAD) and is configured as a two bedroom, 2 bath with an open floorplan. The many windows provide ample natural light and the open living spaces (w/tall ceilings) give volume to the square footage that make the home "live large".
Original items in the main home include the tile, fixtures and space heater in the master bath, the claw-foot tub in the guest bath and the cabinets in the kitchen. The Basse Blocks of the guest cottage date from 1901 and the finish on the interior block walls is original to the structure. There is also an enticing little "root cellar" below the guest cottage that is perfect for storing your local wine purchases!
A spacious 100 x 100 tree shaded yard begs for you to relax on either the front or back porch or nap in the hammock out back. Both structures are currently active (and busy) B&B's booked through 1st Class B&B Reservation Service of Fredericksburg, TX. The MLS # of this gem is 62089.
