Property Description
Located just one block off Main Street, this inviting Hill Country cottage offers comfort, character, and a location that's hard to beat! With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, the home provides a cozy, welcoming layout ideal for full-time living or a relaxing weekend escape. The kitchen features modern appliances and a bright, easy-to-enjoy workspace that flows naturally into the rest of the home. A dedicated laundry area adds convenience, while central heat and air conditioning keep the home comfortable throughout every season. Step outside to a large backyard with a generous deck and pergola perfect for morning coffee, evening gatherings or simply unwinding under the Hill Country sky. Set in one of Fredericksburg's most desirable walking areas, this cottage works beautifully as a permanent residence, family getaway or an income producing investment. It currently operates as a successful short term rental (BnB) with a Marilyn Monroe theme, and the STR permit is eligible for transfer to the new owner. Having additional alley access to the property allows for expansion. The property also includes a newer roof and is offered fully furnished, making it truly turnkey.
