301 Sophia Street | A Truly One-of-a-Kind 1.45 acre Waterfront Property Wow! Some properties are simply impossible to compare, and 301 Sophia Street is one of them. Originally constructed as a mid-century industrial building, this distinctive property is locally known as The Pumphouse-a name that reflects its unique history and character. In more recent years, the property has served as a home with waterfront gatherings and event venue, offering an extraordinary setting along the Rappahannock River. Enter through the gate and cross the bridge, where a hunter-green solid wood door welcomes you to a space that feels like the beginning of an adventure. Inside, the main level features expansive panoramic windows on three sides, framing stunning water views, along with a full kitchen and living area. One level below is a versatile room suitable for use as a bedroom or office and a full bath and a storage room. Venture down five additional flights of stairs to discover the building's original water pumps and electric motors-a fascinating glimpse into the property's industrial past. Just a short distance away on the same property is The River Room, also known as the Party Room. With soaring windows along one wall, beautiful river views that include the Chatham Bridge, a small kitchenette, and a half bath, this separate building offers another distinctive space for entertaining or gathering. Outside, multiple terraced patios face toward the river, complemented by a large concrete deck with patio furniture and plenty of room to enjoy the setting. Featured on HGTV years ago and the subject of several newspaper articles, this remarkable property offers approximately 425 feet of Rappahannock river frontage and more than an acre of open grounds with beautiful water views-all just steps from the shops, restaurants, the train Station, and attractions of historic downtown Fredericksburg. The possibilities are as distinctive as the property itself. Whether envisioned as a personal waterfront retreat, a business opportunity, or a memorable gathering and event space, 301 Sophia Street offers a setting unlike anything else. Secluded and peaceful, yet moments from downtown, it feels like a hidden world tucked away from the everyday.(Floor plans & Survey available) Historic character. Extraordinary river views. Endless possibilities. This is more than a property-it is an experience, and one that is truly unforgettable. When the Ordinary will not do!
