RARE Pick of the Week: 301 Sophia Street -- Fredericksburg, VA

What makes this a RARE pick?

I have been *obsessed* since I found this listing a while back. This reused mid-century industrial building that was originally a water intake pumping station in Fredericksburg VA for the worlds largest cellophane manufacturing plant downstream on the Rappahannock and is now used as a riverfront pied-a-terre and party venue by the owner, a former major of Fredericksburg.

The pump station house has three distinct spaces: Two floors in the upper area high above the river with fabulous views, a full kitchen, and bath. The lower with screened in room, small kitchen and a half bath, and huge concrete deck with terraced patios right by the river. And in the basement, five flights of stairs from the upper rooms, is the industrial heart of the building where all of the original water pumps and electric motors are still there, untouched since they were turned off 1979.

And then there is more than an acre of open yard. It has 425 feet of River frontage
