Historic Home Ten Min Walk to DT | House in Fredericksburg

Our historic 100+ year-old home has the charm you are looking for, but with all the modern amenities you expect from a luxury home. The Gold Haus was built in 1906 for German immigrants who made this town into the place you love to visit. Centrally located, you are just a 10 minute walk to the corner of Marktplatz in downtown Fredericksburg. We are also one of the few houses to feature double porch balconies, perfect for sipping some coffee or wine with space for all guests! Total living space of the home is 2906 sf.
We are new owners of this beautiful property that has a strong tradition of excellent reviews! We hope to walk in this footsteps and provide the same 5 star experience as they did! This historic home was built in 1906 with a beautiful full renovation in Spring 2023.
There is a spacious foyer upon entrance to home that leads either to the kitchen or the living room. The living room is super cozy with a built-in working gas fireplace, luxurious leather sectional, and a smart TV. There is a full bathroom located in the hallway adjacent to the kitchen on the first floor.
The kitchen is beautifully modern and comes fully equipped with appliances, coffee station, and all the cookware and dinnerware utensils you would need.
There are a total of 5 bedrooms (2 king-sized beds on the main floor, and 3 queen-sized beds on the second floor). The home is permitted for 8 guests. White noise machine/alarm clocks equipped in every bedroom. Three of the bedrooms have en suite bathrooms, while the other 2 bedrooms share a bathroom.
Bedroom 1 - Master: King size bed, en suite bathroom with large walk-in closet. Spacious private sitting room connected to the bedroom.
Bedroom 2/Office - King size bed with easy access to the downstairs full bathroom. This room is located off the living room, and also has a desk and chair for those looking to work remotely. Door can be closed for privacy. This room can also be directly accessed from the outside through the first floor balcony.
Upstairs: Bedroom 3 - Queen size bed with stunningly renovated en suite bathroom.
Bedrooms 4 & 5 - Both rooms have Queen size beds with access to one shared full bathroom. These are adjoining rooms via a private door (one of the charming quirks of this old home!). These rooms are perfect for siblings, parents with children, or good friends who are comfortable with each other (which is very likely after a day of wine tasting). However, the back room can be accessed either via the front room through the adjoining door, or through the upstairs outdoor balcony door (if the guest did not want to walk through the other bedroom - it is a 2 second walk onto the porch and back into the house). Please check floor plan for visual. This is an old home and this is just one of those unique qualities!
Backyard - a fire pit and historic windmill set the scene as you unwind and reconnect with friends and family in our fully private back yard. Please note, we are working to install a pool/hot tub and are hoping to have the project completed by early Fall 2025. Please message if you can any questions on how this might impact your stay!
Historic homes, while charming, are full of other interesting and charming features like narrow stairways, multilevel spaces, and raised floor moldings between rooms. Please watch your step!
Guests will have access to the main part of the house and complete and private use of the backyard. There is a secluded back cottage that is not available to rent, nor will interfere with your stay.
We include numerous products to make your stay comfortable and get you started on your trip. This includes: coffee, tea, packaged milk, sugar, toilet paper towels, toiletries, etc. We stock for the average guest, but understand that some people may use more products than others. If you find that you need more than we provided, there is an HEB Grocery Store conveniently located on the other side of Main Street on Adams Street (5 minute drive, 20 minute walk). Thank you for your understanding.
