504 W Austin St Beautifully Restored Historic Home Just Steps from Downtown. Steeped in Fredericksburg history, this beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated home offers a rare opportunity to lease a remarkable piece of the city's architectural heritage. With a history spanning more than a century, the home seamlessly blends authentic historic character with modern comforts. The kitchen is believed to be one of the oldest surviving buildings in Fredericksburg, dating to before 1855. The front parlor, constructed in the 1880s of traditional log and chinking, preserves the craftsmanship and character of Fredericksburg's early German settlers. A Basse Block extension across the front of the home was added around 1910, further enhancing the residence while retaining its historic integrity. In 2011, the home was carefully expanded to include three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a utility room, deck, porches, and a garage, creating a comfortable floor plan suited to modern living. Original wood flooring adds warmth and character throughout, while a stone wood-burning fireplace provides an inviting focal point and a wonderful connection to the home's historic roots. Beautifully restored and updated, this exceptional property offers the best of both worlds-authentic Fredericksburg history and modern livability, all within a short walk of downtown Fredericksburg's renowned shopping, dining, galleries, and entertainment. A truly special property for those who appreciate history, craftsmanship, and the unmistakable charm of the Texas Hill Country. Offered furnished or unfurnished. The property lies in the Historic District of the City of Fredericksburg. Owner is a licensed real estate agent in Texas.
