About this home

The Wahrmund House Some homes tell the story of Fredericksburg. Others helped create it. Built in 1916 for the prominent Wahrmund family-one of Fredericksburg's founding families whose name remains woven into the town's history-The Wahrmund House is a beautifully restored legacy residence just one block from Main Street. Set on nearly half an acre beneath mature shade trees, this distinguished home blends timeless architecture with refined modern living. Original longleaf pine floors, soaring ceilings, handcrafted millwork, and gracious living spaces reflect the craftsmanship of another era, while thoughtful renovations introduce the comfort and luxury expected today. The beautifully appointed kitchen pairs custom cabinetry with premium appliances and timeless finishes, complementing the home's historic character without competing with it. Pressed-tin ceilings from the early 1900s crown the gracious living and dining rooms, adding timeless character and craftsmanship. Privately tucked away, the generously proportioned primary suite is a study in understated luxury, complete with natural sisal flooring, a spa-like bath that opens to green space, an exceptional walk-in dressing room, and an elegant coffee and beverage center. Inviting porches, and expansive lawns create a home equally suited for intimate weekends or memorable gatherings with family and friends. Whether enjoying coffee on the front porch, entertaining after an afternoon exploring Fredericksburg's wineries, or strolling to dinner along Main Street, The Wahrmund House offers something increasingly rare-an opportunity to become the next steward of one of Fredericksburg's enduring historic homes.
