About this home
Own a piece of Fredericksburg history in the heart of downtown. Built in 1898 by Edgar W. Mills, 1518 Caroline Street is one of the Original Three Sisters; three distinctive Italianate Victorian homes that have stood together along Caroline Street for more than 125 years.
Set on a prominent corner lot in Historic Downtown Fredericksburg, this home offers a combination that is especially hard to find downtown: generous living space, a landscaped yard and dedicated off-street parking in a detached two-car garage. Here, you can enjoy the walkable downtown lifestyle without giving up the everyday conveniences of space, outdoor living and your own parking.
Step inside and you’ll find bright, generously sized rooms filled with original details. Beautiful hardwood floors that have never been refinished, pocket doors, classic millwork and architectural features tell the story of a home that has been thoughtfully cared for through generations.
With five bedrooms and three full baths, there is plenty of flexibility for the way you live today. The main level includes a bedroom and full bath with multiple entrances, creating options for guests, multigenerational living or a private home office.
The kitchen sits between an adjoining eat-in area and the formal dining room, making it easy to move from casual mornings to dinners with family and friends. The surrounding living spaces offer plenty of room to gather and entertain while keeping the warmth and character that make this home special.
Upstairs are four additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with an updated private bath, walk-in shower and two closets, including a walk-in. One of the additional bedrooms is currently used as a home office, showing how easily the floor plan can adapt to work-from-home needs. A second full bath and conveniently located upstairs laundry serve the additional bedrooms.
Outside, mature landscaping surrounds a brick patio and fountain, creating a private garden retreat right in the middle of downtown. The corner setting gives the property an added sense of space, while the detached two-car garage with electricity provides coveted off-street parking along with room for storage, hobbies or a workshop.
And living here means downtown Fredericksburg really is outside your front door.
Walk to locally owned restaurants, shops, galleries, parks and community events like music on the Library steps, market square and the farmer's market. Just across Caroline Street, French John’s Wharf offers access to the Rappahannock River, so an afternoon of kayaking, paddleboarding or fishing can begin just steps from home. Old Mill Park, with its river access, playground and even more green space are nearby.
The home has also received important updates over the years, including a new furnace in 2024, water heater in 2020 and HVAC system in 2018, as well as ongoing upgrades to siding and roof offering added peace of mind while preserving the character that has made this house special for more than a century.
Historic homes like this aren’t built again. They are cared for, passed forward and given new chapters. At 1518 Caroline Street, the next one is waiting to be written....
