The Edrington House

Quintessentially Queen Anne residence on THE premier avenue in Historic Fredericksburg.  Built in 1906 with all the beautiful amenities — welcoming front porch, 10-foot ceilings, gorgeous hardwood floors, exquisite woodwork, transoms, four fireplaces, butler’s pantry and much more.  1305 Washington Avenue is located midway between the famous ”Kenmore” Plantation House built by Patriot Colonel Fielding Lewis and his wife Betty Washington Lewis (sister of President George Washington) and the Monument to the President’s mother, Mary Washington.  Rehab and updates have been done by people who appreciate the high-quality craftsmanship from a different era.  When making improvements and repairs. the owners have kept this in mind.  They are stewards of this historic home and have blended improvements and maintenance thoughtfully with its past.  It is indeed its own monument to Fredericksburg and a canvas for its future sustainability.  (The gross square footage is 4,797.  The two main floors have 2,559 square feet of living space.  The attic with walk-up staircase and the basement could be transformed to more living space if desired.)
