TRAVIS STREET FEATURE SHEET HISTORY & CHARM This 1936 house, built by the Henke family, was purchased by the current owners in 2012, and they have spent the past seven years completely restoring it to its original charm. To say they lovingly supervised every facet of the renovation would be an understatement! They refinished the original wood floors (oak in the front, formal rooms and long-leaf pine in the family rooms… the old Fredericksburg German way, of course!) They also created archways between rooms and lightened and brightened the wall colors to combine this home’s 1930’s charm with current day style! Most of the doors are original to the house, but when they added a large bonus room in the back of the home (currently used as an office), they purchased and repurposed several doors (complete with vintage “push” bars) from the Dallas public library. LOCATION & INVESTMENT POTENTIAL This property is perfectly suited for the vacation rental market and offers all the top features guests are seeking. Among the home’s MOST alluring attributes is its picture perfect zoning… a combination of R-2 and C-2 which allows you to do so much on the vacation rental side. Property of this zoning is always attractive to investors. The other prime feature that cannot be overstated is its fabulous location… just 1 block to Marktplatz where so many of Fredericksburg’s famed festivals are held and an easy 3 block walk to Fredericksburg’s top restaurants, shops, tasting rooms and live music venues. This location makes it absolutely ideal for large groups looking for the perfect “home base” while exploring the town. A nearby convenience store truly provides the ultimate convenience, allowing guests easy access to restocking their libations and any other necessities. The 14’ wide concrete drive, along with the 2-car oversized garage (with repurposed tin inside), provide more than ample off-street parking as well. The home is currently configured as 3 bedrooms with 2 baths, but the oversized bonus space (currently an office) would easily hold up to four additional beds, making the house ideal for hosting large groups. OUTDOOR SPACE This house is ideal for outdoor entertainment... perfect for a family to enjoy but also one of the top requested features guests express when booking a home for a group. The beautiful, large lawn extends over two lots (.45 acres) and features a cantera stone fountain imported from Mexico, a gazebo and rock fireplace built around a vintage grape arbor, and an outdoor fire pit. There are multiple patios to enjoy along with a nostalgic wrap-around porch. The charming outdoor shed could be used for storage or be converted into more outdoor entertaining space. It would make a charming she-shed or hot tub room with twinkle lights. During renovation, the lawn was completely stripped and re-sodded with St. Augustine grass from King Ranch in Kingsville. The adjoining lot is sodded with Zoysia grass. It is easily maintained by an irrigation system with water provided by a private well. There are also multiple flower beds (also part of the irrigation system) and walkways, including rock flower beds with an antique gate, that add priceless to the charm. The new $35,000 cedar stave fence is typical Fredericksburg/German style and provides privacy from the neighbors. The 14’ wide concrete driveway provides ample room for off street parking and connects to the oversized 2 car garage, lined with repurposed tin. The property also offers remote-controlled landscape lighting. So if you are looking for a vintage home in EXCELLENT condition, within easy walking distance of the very BEST that Main Street has to offer… look no further. The search is over
