    Fenced corner lotMultiple living spacesProminent corner lotClassic architectural detailsCharming bedroom built-insFive bedroomsWalk-in pantry
    Welcome to 1601 Sunken Road, where historic Fredericksburg charm and character meet the space and amenities of modern living. Set on a prominent corner lot just below the University of Mary Washington, this classic Cape Cod offers more than 4,200 finished square feet and a surprisingly spacious, versatile floor plan. Beautiful wood floors, built-ins and classic architectural details give the home warmth and personality throughout. The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring stainless steel appliances, an oversized center island and plenty of room to gather. The kitchen has custom cabinetry, 2 dishwashers, a bar area, drink fridge, and two sinks. It also has a faucet with "near" boiling water for hot drinks, etc. The walk-in pantry is also rare downtown. An adjoining family room with a built-in entertainment center creates an inviting everyday living space, while separate dining and additional living areas offer flexibility for entertaining, working from home or simply spreading out. Built in-ceiling speakers are throughout the main level of the home! Upstairs, charming bedroom built-ins add both function and character, and the primary bedroom features a custom closet for exceptional storage and organization. Upper-level laundry adds everyday convenience. With five bedrooms, multiple living spaces and a finished lower level with a full bath, there is plenty of room for guests, recreation, a home gym or private workspace. A functional mudroom, abundant storage and a Tesla charger add even more convenience. Outside, the fenced corner lot offers another standout feature: an impressive sport court and basketball hoop that make the outdoor space just as fun and functional as the interior. Full of charm, character and thoughtful details, 1601 Sunken Road offers the feel of an established Fredericksburg home, but with the space, layout, and amenities for modern buyers.
