609 W Austin St, Fredericksburg, TX 78624

A rare opportunity to own one of Fredericksburg's most recognizable historic homes - a stately red brick residence built in 1918, quietly anchoring West Austin Street just one block off Main. Beautifully remodeled while honoring every detail of its original craftsmanship, this home blends period character with modern comfort.

Refinished longleaf pine floors, original trim, and 12-foot pressed tin ceilings carry through the home. The remodeled kitchen features marble countertops, a deep island, custom cabinetry, professional stainless appliances, and an arabesque marble backsplash.

A separate bar area with wine refrigeration connects to the dining room and extends the entertaining space. The home offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a private primary suite with separate his-and-hers closets, a spa-style bath featuring a marble-tiled walk-in shower and dual vanities, and a dedicated door opening directly to the backyard.

A spacious office or additional bedroom showcases one of the home's most beautiful original details - an intricately patterned pressed tin ceiling framed by tall windows on three sides - while a dedicated media room rounds out a layout that's designed to flex with you however you choose to enjoy it.

Set on an oversized .46-acre lot, the backyard creates a true private resort - a sparkling pool with elevated spa, a covered outdoor pavilion anchored by a full stone fireplace, a separate outdoor bathroom with shower, a cabana, and a separate garden area with raised beds and greenhouse, all shaded by mature pecan trees.

An expansive four-car covered carport with attached workshop, an electric entry gate, full sprinkler system, and privacy fencing complete the grounds. Just steps from Main Street's shops, restaurants, and tasting rooms - a rare offering where craftsmanship, privacy, and timeless Fredericksburg living come together for generations to enjoy.

While not currently operating as a short-term rental, the property holds a coveted STR permit for 14 guests - increasingly difficult to obtain in Fredericksburg. The permit is grandfathered and may be retained by the new owner, subject to the city's renewal requirements. Buyer to verify permit details with the City of Fredericksburg.
