109 Sussex Street

Description

There are those neighborhoods that have so much charm and grace, every home is a little bit different, every section has its own vibe, with generations coming back from all corners to once more enjoy that which they loved. Argyle Heights is that very special place. Situated just two miles from the abundance of Downtown Fredericksburg to include dining, shopping, battlefields, University of Mary Washington, the Rappahanock, and so much history--there really is no place like it. Sitting on a third of an acre, 109 Sussex St. is an all Brick Cape Cod which offers 4 BRs (LL NTC) and 2 Full BAs on three skillfully remodeled levels of which, the main level offers everything needed to live on one level if one prefers the convenience of such a set up-the well-appointed kitchen which is a dream for any chef--remodeled with two-tone 42" cabinets with pantry, pull-out shelving, two corner lazy-susans, and separate coffee bar area, large peninsula for seating up to four people, upgraded counters, commercial grade Kitchen Aid Gas Stove with Vented Hood and matching Dishwasher and built-in Refrigerator. An additional area for dining is part of this space as well as a side entrance. There is an expansive and separate LR which can be accessed from the kitchen or front entrance. Also on the main level is the very large guest room with original parquet floors and huge closet, and the third bedroom which is being used as an office. The fully renovated bathroom has a tiled walk-in shower with bench, large vanity, and Washer/Dryer. The upper level primary suite has an ample bedroom to one side with separate sitting area, room for an office, and a reading nook. The other side has a fully tiled bath with free-standing soaking tub, separate shower, two pedestal sinks ,dressing area with ironing station and a double walk-in closet. Full of luxurious privacy, there is only one barn door which leads to this Retreat. The Lower Level has been finished with the fourth and fifth bedroom (NTC but a permit can be completed to install two egress windows) once which has a very useful gas fireplace, coming in handy during those cold winter months, and another which was being used as an exercise room. Both rooms have LVP. The other half of the lower level is a work area for the avid DIY guru. There are stairs leading to the fully fenced in (black aluminum) backyard which has two gates one leading to the driveway and and additional cargo gate. On cool evenings, relax under the stars and the two-level pergola. Both inviting and soothing, this space was meant to serve as the ultimate and cozy entertainment extension which mirrors the interior space. The house has a detached brick three and a half car garage for parking two cars in the front bays and many toys in the side entrance with a loft above which is partially finished and could be finished as living space. Roof on Garage was replaced in 2018 and the Roof on the house is also fairly new. The Dual Zone heat pumps are bi-annually serviced by Robert B. Payne with one having been replaced in 2021 (Trane) and the other having a replaced line in 2022 and both functioning at full capacity. NEW HWH (2024) There is a sump pump with newly installed battery back-up. The home has been freshly painted in a neutral palette, has reclaimed barn wood flooring from Fraser's (local wood artisan) on the upper level and refinished hardwood floors on the main level. All doors are six panel and hardware has been updated to matte black. With one level living, if desired, or all three levels- this home is a perfect fit. Conveniently located, no HOA (though pride of ownership and well-manicured lawns abound), a walker or runner's dream, in a lovely and friendly community which is the best of all Fredericksburg has to offer.
