About the Listing FCBH1 - 3091999

Welcome to 12 Porter Lane, a classic Cape Cod–style home built in 1953, situated on a spacious 0.66-acre lot in Fredericksburg. This unique property backs directly to Stafford High School’s football stadium, offering an elevated, “eagle-eye” view of the action—pull up your chairs in the backyard and enjoy lively afternoons and evenings right from home. The entryway features tile flooring and wood paneling. The living room, dining room, and hallway showcase original, gleaming hardwood floors, adding warmth and timeless character. The updated kitchen includes maple cabinetry, quartz countertops, a stove, a built-in microwave, a refrigerator with an ice maker, a dishwasher, and laminate flooring. Permitted additions (per owner) expand the home’s functionality, including a bright, spacious family room with laminate flooring, a propane floor stove, and 12 windows that provide abundant natural light. The main level offers a full bath with a shower, laminate flooring, and original hardwood flooring beneath. An office with hardwood floors, shelving closet, and direct access to the family room adds flexibility. In the not-so-distant past, a successful paving business was run from this home. A main-level bedroom (not to code) features hardwood flooring and direct entry into the family room addition. Upstairs, you’ll find two additional bedrooms with carpet, a full bath with a shower only and laminate flooring, a generously sized hallway closet, and attic access. The unfinished basement includes interior stairs, walk-up access, a washer and dryer that convey, and county water and sewer. Major updates include a roof replaced approximately 10 years ago and a 1-year-old heat pump with propane backup. Outdoor features include a carport with paved driveway, an expansive deck wired for a hot tub and covered by an existing gazebo, a fully fenced backyard, and existing water lines from a former above-ground pool. Additional exterior highlights include a slate front patio and gutter system. A detached two-car garage offers extra storage space behind the parking areas and presents potential for conversion to a second dwelling unit or studio (buyer to verify). This distinctive property combines vintage charm, thoughtful updates, and a truly one-of-a-kind setting—an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
