Property Description

Set on an extraordinary 2.3-acre homesite within the City, one of Fredericksburg's most remarkable private estates is being offered for sale for the first time in its history. Perched at the end of Beverly Drive, this exceptional property is a masterclass in timeless architecture, craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, where every addition reflects decades of care and intention. From reclaimed architectural elements and custom ornamental ironwork salvaged from historic Richmond homes to handcrafted details throughout, this is a home filled with stories that cannot be replicated. The formal garden terrace, anchored by a gazebo crafted from ironwork cut by the historic James River Foundry, overlooks mature landscaping designed to evolve beautifully with every season. Inside, gracious living spaces balance elegant entertaining with everyday comfort. The light-filled gourmet kitchen opens to a great room with soaring ceilings, an impressive fireplace, custom built-ins, and a wet bar with a built-in ice maker and beverage refrigerator. An integrated whole-home audio system extends throughout the interior and outdoor living spaces, creating a seamless backdrop for everything from intimate dinners to large celebrations. Formal living and dining rooms, along with inviting sitting and work areas, provide flexibility for every occasion. The finished lower level has served as the home's game room for generations, where classic black-and-white checkered tile and a retro wet bar create a nostalgic gathering space. Its original vintage refrigerator now serves as unique storage. The recreation room adjoins an unfinished basement with abundant storage, laundry, workshop space, and direct access to the rear grounds. The owner's suite is a private retreat with ample space, dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath, with walk-in shower and jetted soaking tub, while each additional bedroom features its own ensuite bath. The pool house is a destination all its own. Wood paneling, hand-hewn beams, exposed brick, and a self-contained gas fireplace create a warm, inviting atmosphere. The main level offers a bedroom, walk-in closet, and full bath with dual vanities and a walk-in shower. The full kitchen and versatile layout make it ideal for guests, extended family, a private office, or entertaining. A spiral staircase leads to a spacious loft on the second level, while the walk-out lower level includes a workshop with a three-compartment sink, workbench, extensive shelving for abundant storage, and access to the pool equipment. Two fenced dog runs with concrete pads, and the original smokehouse turned storage shed add even more versatility. The outdoor living spaces are every bit as functional as the interiors. Expansive slate patios, terraced lawns framed by reclaimed stone retaining walls, an Olympic-sized in-ground marbelite pool, mature landscaping, and handcrafted features create an estate equally suited for entertaining, peaceful m, and everyday living. Just minutes from Historic Downtown Fredericksburg, Mary Washington Hospital, the University of Mary Washington, the VRE, and I-95, the property offers a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and accessibility. Rarely does a property of this significance become available. More than an exceptional residence, 812 Beverly Drive is a home where craftsmanship, history, and generations of memories come together to offer an extraordinary opportunity to begin its next chapter.
