Description
Presently operating as the STR permitted Antique Rose Guest House, this charming property is located approximately 100 feet from Main Street and offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Fredericksburg history with outstanding commercial potential. The original Henke house underwent a complete and extensive restoration in 1997 by contractor David Blake, carefully preserving its early-1900s pioneer character while incorporating thoughtful modern updates. Step back in time as you enter from the welcoming covered front porch, complete with comfortable seating and a vintage swing that evokes memories of small-town conversations. Inside, soaring ceilings, pristine long-leaf pine floors, an arched opening, and abundant natural light showcase the home's historic character. Custom-milled window and door trim and moldings were crafted by Ward Johnson Custom Millwork, while hand-crafted stained-glass transom windows add another distinctive touch. Wall and ceiling blown insulation, updated plumbing and electrical systems, a newer HVAC system, and a 2026 roof provide modern comfort. The spacious two-bedroom, one-bath home features a large, fully equipped kitchen with wood walls and room for a breakfast table and chairs. The inviting parlor flows into a spacious formal dining room, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing after a day exploring Fredericksburg. Outside, the property continues to impress with a large stone patio shaded by mature pecan trees, a new table and chairs, and plenty of room for gardening. The original car house (garage) and newer carport provide additional utility, while the historic Basse block tank house/smokehouse and potting shed add character and charm. The backyard is enclosed with double-loop wire fencing, and ample off-street parking is available. Bordering the Historic District and C-2 commercially zoned, this property is being sold fully furnished and offers exceptional flexibility. Continue operating it as a successful short-term rental, use it as a full-time residence, or explore its commercial potential. Just steps from Main Street and within easy reach of Fredericksburg's renowned dining, shopping, entertainment, and wineries, the Antique Rose Guest House is a truly special opportunity to own a nostalgic piece of Fredericksburg's past while enjoying the convenience of modern updates.
