Located in the historic district of Fredericksburg, this 19th century home has been updated for modern luxury living. William Kunz, a carpenter & cabinetmaker, built the original home in 1871. In 2006 extensive renovations & additions were made to the historic structure. The now front living room was originally Kunz's workshop. The bar, formerly the original kitchen, retains a built-in cypress cabinet & a dutch door crafted by the original owner/cabinetmaker. The root cellar is now a 600-bottle wine cellar with original stone stairs. The current owners have carefully planned & completed several projects further transforming this property into a resort-like paradise. These include a heated swimming pool and conversion of the home gym into a poolside guest suite with bathroom, kitchenette & covered porch. The kitchen was updated with quartz countertops & refreshed lighting. The primary bathroom has been repainted & quartz countertops were also installed. The upstairs of the original 1871 home was renovated into a guest suite complete with its own updated bathroom and a hidden privacy pocket door. Tucked under the eaves, this large but cozy upstairs space can now accommodate up to four people. It also has its own outside entrance. There are 3 bedrooms, plus a study that could easily be used as a 4th bedroom. 3 full and 2 ½ baths. There are 3 living areas, an impressive formal dining room, two large island counters with seating in the chef’s kitchen and a large butler’s pantry with abundant storage. A large stone fireplace is the focal point of the great room. Additionally, there are gas wood stoves in both the study and TV/Lounge room. Outdoor living area with a fireplace, outdoor kitchen with a sink, BBQ, burners & a griddle, & a beautiful old windmill in the backyard. The covered porch off of the primary bedroom also includes a hot tub. Approximately one and a half hour drive from Austin and a little over an hour from San Antonio.and don’t forget the peaches.
