Property Details

BOWIE COTTAGE – A Unique Opportunity Awaits You: Welcome to the Bowie Cottage, a Successful Vacation Rental, near the heart of downtown Fredericksburg. This home is turn key with all furnishings and future bookings! Charming renovations give this 100 year old historic home a cozy feel. This once full time residence is now masterfully separated into two living spaces. Each suite is fitted with its own kitchenette, sitting area, fireplace, bedroom and bath. The first suite looks to farmhouse appeal, which is evident in the finish of the old bead board, found in many of the early homes of Fredericksburg. Clean lines, tile and a freestanding skirted tub keep the look fresh and add to the charm. There is also a freshly remodeled walk-in shower, fireplace and small kitchenette making for a delightful stay for two. The second suite has a rustic feel with wood ceilings, and timber and stone walls, hearkening back to many of the old rock homes found in this historic Texas-German community. This unique arrangement offers the owner the opportunity to rent one side for just a couple or renting both sides for a family. The property is zoned R1, allowing the property to be rented to one group at a time, you can not rent both sides to separate parties. LOCATION – Bowie Cottage is located just a block and a half off Main Street (Hauptstrasse) in a quiet neighborhood. The lot includes an extensive storage building which could actually become another house giving the purchaser the ability to live on premise, all while still renting out the finished historic cottage up front. The lot is approx 71 feet wide by a huge 175 foot deep giving ample enough space to build a residential home which feels separate from the cottage, making this a unique STR opportunity.
