This beauty is PERFECTLY located: under 2 miles to Fredericksburg's downtown VRE station and all that downtown Fredericksburg offers, barely a mile to Mary Washington Hospital, under 3 miles to most anything Central Park, 2.5 miles to watch our FredNats' home games, and fewer than that to shop at Wegmans, and our hotly anticipated Trader Joes'. If you really NEED to drive I-95, you're within 8-15 minutes of three interchanges (exits 126, 130, 133). And we haven't even touched on your river views and access to Rappahannock Heritage Trail from all upper front-facing windows, right across the street, where you can bike, run, walk, stroll, dog-walk, or just people-watch - year-round!

Princess Anne-North Route 1, located between Princess Anne Street and U.S. Route 1, is a residential and commercial Fredericksburg neighborhood with a corridor-style streetscape and a mix of older blocks and roadside storefronts. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Princess Anne St & Route 1 junction, where auto-era signage, small service counters, and everyday retail set a brisk, practical tone. Nearby, Carl’s Frozen Custard, the Fredericksburg Area Museum, and the Riverside Center for the Performing Arts act as recognizable local pillars. Housing ranges from modest mid-century homes to older in-town forms, with sidewalks and short blocks in pockets. Route 1 brings steady motion, while side streets read quieter and more residential. Downtown’s brick-and-porch architecture and the Rappahannock Riverfront sit close enough to shape weekend routines.
