About this property

Cottage on a Babbling Brook in Historic Falmouth Virginia

This 2 bedroom, 2 bath home is located in historic Falmouth VA, and parts of this home date back to the 1800s. Though it maintains its historic charm on the exterior, it has just recently been remodeled, and therefore, boasts a completely modern/contemporary look on the interior. The house has two private bedrooms on the upper level, both with king-size beds, closets, shades and decor. There is an updated bathroom on the upper level with tiled shower walls and a herringbone-tiled floor. The main level, there is a second bathroom, which includes a stand-alone shower, floating vanity and commode. Also, downstairs, the laundry is located in a closet underneath the stairs, and it has easy access. The front room is considered the living room, while the back room is considered the family room. These rooms flank the central kitchen that boasts all new plumbing, appliances, counters, cabinets, and is completely stocked with the appropriate kitchenware. The kitchen has loads of cabinet and counter space, a sink in the island, and a bar counter for guests to sit and chat. Step outside onto a large deck or down to the private backyard that is bounded by Falls Run Creek, which is flanked by stone walls laid in the 1800s to enable its use as a transportation canal for the movement of goods. The yard abuts the creek, and it is the perfect place to commune with nature, or just relax. If adventurous, follow along the creek to a small waterfall, and then, continue along until it feeds it into the Rappahannock River. Located in the historic town of Falmouth by the Rappahannock River, and just across the river from the city of Fredericksburg, we are in the historic district, conveniently nestled near the Falmouth Bridge. We are within walking distance to a local eatery (Amy's Cafe), and the former home (and now a museum) of artist Gary Melcher. Also nearby is "Falmouth Beach", a local hangout for those who want to enjoy the river, Chatham Manor (a national park), and Pratt and St Clair Brooks parks, which are mostly used for sports and recreation.

For security purposes only, a security camera is mounted on the front exterior of the house. This device can record or transmit video, images or audio.

To ensure noise ordinances are followed, and neighbors are not subjected unacceptable noise making during quiet hours, a noise monitoring devise has been mounted on the rear exterior of the house, This device only assesses sound levels, but does not record audio.

Why they chose this property

We love this historic neighborhood of Falmouth. The local history, the natural beauty of Falls Run Creek and the Rappahannock River, the many activities and sights that are so close by, including those of Fredericksburg, just across the bridge!

What makes this property unique

Our cottage is unique in that it borders the Falls Run Creek, which once was used as a transportation canal. The old stone blocks still line the creek! The backyard is a private, serene getaway into nature ... we've see birds (bald eagles, egrets, deer, rabbits and turtles galore!
